Nonindigenous Fishes - Anostomidae - English
URL: http://nas.er.usgs.gov/fishes/accounts/anostomi/anostomi.html

This neotropical characiform family comprises some 12 genera, many of which are monotypic, and about 110 nominal species (Nelson 1994). Anostomids are fusiform, somewhat elongate fishes and have conical heads with small, nonprotractile mouths. Most species are medium- to large-sized omnivores or vegetarians that use their incisorlike teeth to clip aquatic vegetation, or as forceps to remove prey from crevices (Taphorn 1992). The family is restricted to freshwater.

Cette famille contient certains des poissons(ne bénéficiant pourtant pas d'une appréciation universelle) d'eau douce les plus aisément identifiables : les Poissons-crayon et les Tête-en-bas, plus grands. Ils présentent d'une façon tout à fait caractéristique une bouche retournée petite et non protractile. La plupart ont un corps allongé avec des nageoires anale et dorsale courtes. Les Poissons-crayon orientent souvent leur corps en position oblique. Les Tête-en-bas vont plus loin encore, ils adoptent souvent des angles de plus de quarante cinq degrés, certains dépassant parfois les 90°(!).
