Schizodon is a genus of headstander from South America. Though found widely in tropical freshwater habitats in the continent, the greatest species richness is in the Paraná–Paraguay–Uruguay river basin.[1] They reach up to 40 cm (1.3 ft) in standard length.[1] They are herbivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, algae, macrophytes, leaves and roots.[2]
