| | Gamefish of the Amazon - Peacock Bass, Payara and Other Exotic Species |
 | | Although some species may guard eggs or young in their mouths at some time during the brooding cycle, none are true mouthbreeders. |
 | | This species is not encountered in the lowlands of the Amazon basin, since it prefers fast water and a rocky habitat (it is more common in Columbian and Venezuelan tributaries of the Orinoco River). |
 | | Many of the larger species of Amazonian catfish are migratory, extremely active and aggressive predators that live in fast water and actively feed with the other previously-mentioned gamefish. |
