Description

also known as Purple Torpedo Candiru, this is a carnivorous species of whale catfish found in the Amazon basin of Brazil and Bolivia. Similar to Cetopsis coecutiens (Blue Whale) Cetopsis candiru is a large species of the genus Cetopsis and a widespread scavenger, known for its voracious feeding and the habit of burrowing into the carcasses of dead animals and humans. Despite its name, it is not closely related to the bloodsucking Candiru (Vandellia cirrhosa).
