Chilodus punctatus

Chilodus punctatus, known as the spotted headstander or pearl headstander, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Chilodidae, the headstanders. The spotted headstander has a body that extends grayish and green colors over its body and sets off the colors with rows of brown specks.

This fish is given the name due to its distinctive head-down swimming position (at 45°). These fish usually remain in the shade, emerging to feed.
