Characin

In Spanish its common name is boga ; in Brazil it is known as piapara.

The Characin lives in the benthopelagic, potamodromous, freshwater environment.

Most Characins are schooling fish so they do better in a community aquarium with lots of buddies to hang out with. Apart from the predatory species such as the Piranhas, most Characins are peaceful even though many are carnivores. The herbivorous Characins are known as Limnivores or mud-eaters. More
