Ancistrus maximus[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Branco River basin in Roraima, Brazil . The species is notable among members of Ancistrus for its comparatively large size, reaching 20.1 cm (7.9 inches) SL, a characteristic which is also the source of its specific epithet.[2]
