Catfish fish is a fairly large predatory fish that prefers to live in rivers and lakes with fresh water. Catfish is a bright representative of the class of radiant fish, the order of catfish, the catfish family.
This member of the catfish family has a fairly long and, at the same time, flattened body that has no scales. The rather strong body of this fish is covered with a thick layer of mucus, which provides the predator with excellent movement in the water column. The head is wide and flattened, and there are relatively small eyes on it. The mouth is also wide with a set of small but numerous teeth. Catfish can be easily distinguished from other species of fish in their presence, both on the lower and upper jaws of the mustache, and long.
Catfish is quite a smart and cunning fish. When he hunts his potential prey, he uses his mustache. He opens his mouth and begins to move his mustache, which is similar to the movements of worms in the water. When the victim approaches a dangerous distance, the catfish simply draws water along with the prey.
The catfish is quite an active hunter and eats all objects of animal origin if they are in the water. Depending on the size of the predator, it can pull under water, a duck or nest located low above the water, as well as other animals, if they are in the water for one reason or another.
The weight of this predator can reach more than 350 kg, with its length of up to 5 meters. Its coloring can be different, where it is lighter and where it is darker, depending on its habitat.
