Ecology of Ituglanis amazonicus
 
Main Ref. Le Bail, P.-Y., P. Keith and P. Planquette, 2000
Remarks Lives mainly in little forest creeks with notable current and a sandy-rocky substrate. It is not known whether it feeds on flesh or blood of living animals or it lives on carrion. Opercle hooks enable it to cling to and to dig little tunnels into its prey's flesh (Ref. 35381).
