Spatuloricaria gymnogaster[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the upper Magdalena River basin in Colombia.
FishBase records a maximum standard length of 370 cm (146 in) for the species,[2] but this is unlikely and can be assumed to be a misprint, with 37.0 cm (14.6 in) being the actual upper bound stated in the reference cited.[3] Some sources list a standard length of 25 cm (9.8 in) for Spatuloricaria gymnogaster, and FishBase provides a maximum weight of 235.3 g.[4][2]
