The traira or freshwater Wolf Fish, is a species found in the rivers of South America; mainly in Brazil, Guyana and Suriname. Triara is often found in counter current zones of principal rivers and creeks. This fish is mainly an ambush predator of fish but also feeds opportunistically on other animals that fall into the water such as terrestrial invertebrates. Seems that this fish can reach the 80 pound - 40 kilos and 47 inch - 120 cm in lenght but bigger fishes was caught with net in the past decade.
