coius microlepsis (aka siamese tigerfish)

Post by general-sherman »

i was just curious to know what catfish sp. are found with c. microlepsis in its natural habitat? c. microlepsis is found in brackish and freshwater, i guess most of the brackish habitat cats would be arius sp. what are the freshwater ones?
thanks.
Meanwhile, Homer catches a legendary catfish, General Sherman, but to prove his love for Marge he throws it back in the lake...

Large river catfish like Hemibagrus nemurus, Bagroides melapterus, Wallago leerii, Micronema apogon, and Pangasius polyuranodon. Smaller species would include things like Kryptopterus cryptopterus.
I might add that Datnioides (yes, it's back in Datnioides one more time) is more commonly encountered in freshwater than in brackish (besides ariids, other brackish water catfish found in the habitat include Mystus gulio and M/ wollfii)...
