Hypostomus multidens[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the basins of the Paranapanema River and the Paraná River in Brazil . It is typically seen in large rivers, where it usually occurs at low population densities. The species reaches 19.8 cm (7.8 inches) SL and is believed to be a facultative air-breather. Its specific epithet, multidens, refers to the species' distinctively high number of teeth, with individuals of H. multidens possessing between 122 and 267 teeth per mandibular ramus.[2]
