The ancistrus Bufonius fish is a tropical fish commonly known as the chien to the head of a toad. He is part of the Loricariidae family and is from South America. Crapaud's head fishing fish is characterized by its toad-shaped head, with large globular eyes and fleshy lips. His mouth is fitted with small teeth in the shape of forks, which allows him to nibble on the seaweed and the plant debris which are on the rocks and the aquatic plants.

Crapaud head fishing fish has a robust body and rather laterally compressed, with a thick backbone and thick scales. Its tail is also solid, with well -developed fins which allow it to propel itself into water. Its color varies from light gray to dark brown, with irregular brown spots which give it a spotted appearance.

Crapaud head fishing fish is a very peaceful and harmless fish that lives in groups in rivers and lakes in South America. He is very popular in aquarophilia because of his beautiful appearance and his easy adaptation to living conditions in aquarium. Although chien-headed toad is mainly herbivorous, it can also eat small crustaceans and small insects.

It is important to maintain clean and well -filtered water to ensure the health of this fish.
