A candiru is a type of parasitic freshwater catfish native to the Amazon River basin. It is known for its parasitic behavior of entering the gill cavities of larger fish and feeding on their blood. The candiru has a slender, elongated body with sharp spines and is often referred to as the "vampire fish" due to its blood-feeding habits. It is a fascinating yet infamous species in the aquatic ecosystem.
