The Vandelliinae are a subfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae. Vandelliines are hematophagous, feeding on the blood of larger fish. Members of this subfamily may be known as candirú, notorious for occasionally entering human bodily orifices, particularly the urethra; no evidence indicates such attacks are anything more than rare and accidental perversions of the usual feeding behaviour of the parasite — it seems unlikely that it would survive in the human body for long, so such an entry should be disastrous for both parties. In the usual course of events, parasitic vandelliines enter the body cavities of host fishes, feed on blood from gill filaments, and leave again.

| - Die zu den Schmerlenwelsen (Familie Trichomycteridae) gehörenden Vertreter der Unterfamilie Vandelliinae werden in ihrer Heimat Brasilien von den Indios und Caboclos Candirúes genannt, im Nordosten Brasiliens aber Caneros. Sie werden mitunter auch als Harnröhrenwelse oder Penisfische bezeichnet. (de)
- Vandelliinae es una subfamilia de peces siluros de la familia Trichomycteridae. Son peces que se alimentan de la sangre de peces de mayor tamaño. Estos parásitos entran en las cavidades corporales de los peces huéspedes, se alimentan de la sangre de los filamentos branquiales y vuelven a salir. Suelen parasitar a ostariofisiarios como Pimelodidae, Doradidae y Characidae. Los ojos de las especies de este grupo son relativamente grandes entre los siluros, lo que sugiere que la vista puede ser importante en la detección de sus presas. (es)

Los ojos de las especies de este grupo son relativamente grandes entre los siluros, lo que sugiere que la vista puede ser importante en la detección de sus presas. De un miembro de este grupo, el candirú (Vandellia cirrhosa), se dice que puede introducirse ocasionalmente en orificios corporales humanos, en particular la uretra, aunque no hay evidencias que indiquen que esto realmente sea cierto o que estos ataques sean algo más que desviaciones infrecuentes y accidentales del comportamiento alimentario habitual de este pez.

Vandelliines usually parasitise ostariophysan fishes such as pimelodids, doradids, and characins. The eyes of Vandelliinae species are relatively large among catfishes, indicating sight may be important in prey detection. (en)
