The banded knifefish (Gymnotus carapo) is a species of gymniform knifefish native to a wide range of freshwater habitats in South America.[1] It is the most widespread species of Gymnotus,[1] but it has frequently been confused with several relatives, including some found outside its range like the Central America G. maculosus.[2][3][4] The English name "banded knifefish" is sometimes used for the entire genus Gymnotus instead of only the species G. carapo.[5]
