Abstract
The Characiform fish species from the Tapyta Reserve and surrounding area, Caazapa, Paraguay, were inventoried during a year with electrofishing, netting, and trapping. A total of 20 species were registered, being Characidae the richest family. We also report three species as new records to the Paraguayan ichthyofauna and discuss the update of the inventory of fishes from Paraguay.Keywords
