Abramites hypselonotus – known as the marbled headstander or the high-backed headstander – is a member of the family Anostomidae[2] of the order Characiformes.[3] Under normal fish classifying rules, the marbled headstander would be classified as a surface dweller. In reality marbled headstanders – like all headstanders – inhabit the middle and lower portions of the aquarium.[4] In the wild, head standers are often found face down, tail up in narrow vertical rocky fissures.[5]
