Short description: Species of catfish
Pareiorhaphis nasuta[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Doce River basin in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil . The type locality of the species is a small, shallow river with clear water, slow to moderate current, and a rocky substrate. It is also found in rapids, with larger individuals of the species occurring in faster-flowing areas. The species reaches 9.5 cm (3.7 inches) in standard length, is known to be sexually dimorphic, and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[2]
