Hypostomus fonchii[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Cushabatay River basin, which is itself part of the Ucayali River drainage[2] in Peru, as well as the Mamoré River basin in Bolivia. It is typically found in clear, high-altitude waters with large rocks, dead leaves and wood, an absence of aquatic vegetation, and a substrate of sand, clay, or pebbles. The species reaches 15.4 cm (6.1 inches) SL.[3]
