Saltwater Aquarium Catfish (Plotosidae)

This is one of the few catfish families that live in the sea. Their anal and dorsal fins are long, and the pectoral fins have a spiny spoke connected to a venomous gland. The barbels around the mouth have a tactile function and help to detect food. Their elongated body enables them to weave their way skilfully through natural obstacles in their path.

The young live in shoals where they form a ball, with their heads facing outwards, when they are faced with danger; the adults are more solitary. They feed on animal foodstuffs or small prey appropriate to the size of their mouth. This fish has a reputation for being fragile and an avid consumer of oxygen. Size: 30 cm.
