Rhamphichthys hahni

Classification

Rhamphichthys is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Rhamphichthyidae, the sand knifefishes. These fish are eel shaped (or anguiform) with a distinct beak like snout which gave them their name. Like most other knifefish Rhamphichthys species have electrical organs that help them live in the murky waters of South America.
