A face only an angler could love. Hoplias aimara, traíra, or giant wolf fish is among the more coveted Amazonian species and clearly the spookiest. These ambush predators live in congregations around fractured rocks, much like saltwater lingcod. Read more about them in our trip report from last month’s Guyana expedition.

@monsteraquarium The Aimara Wolf Fish, scientifically known as Hoplias aimara, is a formidable freshwater predator native to South America, particularly the Amazon basin and Orinoco River. With its sleek, elongated body and sharp teeth, it is an apex predator in its habitat. The Aimara Wolf Fish is characterized by its striking coloration, often featuring shades of green, brown, and gold, providing camouflage among submerged vegetation and murky waters.#AimaraWolfFish #HopliasAimara #FreshwaterP
