• El tucunaré (peacok bass): iconic species of the Jatun Cocha lagoon in the Yasuní. Which is a voracious predator that is said to bite hooks that do not have bait. It receives different names according to its characteristics: zú (giant), Paca (painted), Pitanga (dark), Borboleta (butterfly).
• Al Arapaima o piache, It is considered the largest scale fish in the Amazon and one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. There are many rumors about this species. The piache reaches almost eight feet and weighs about 300 kilograms. Its torpedo-shaped body is covered in shiny black scales, and its snake-like head is shielded by a mildew-colored satin frame. At night his green eyes flash, like a zombie.
