Abramites eques, also known as headstander, picúo, or sardina, small teleost fish and is a member of the family Anostomidae of the order Characiformes.[2] This South American species, like Abramites hypselonotus, adopts a head-down swimming posture due to its distinct feeding habit, which is a direct result of the locals that it frequents.
