Leporinus agassizii can reach a standard length of 23.4 centimetres (9.2 in).[2]
It is named in honor of zoologist-geologist Louis Agassiz (1807–1873). He was the leading authority on Brazilian fishes at the time, as leader of the Thayer Expedition (1865–1866) to Brazil, which provided Franz Steindachner with many specimens to study.[3]
