Popular misconceptions about catfish

This is supposed to be a joke about Synodontis, of all things! Look more like a goldfish to me.

Go to Google News, type "catfish" and you'll get pages of hits. Most are about catfish fishing and catfish farming in the US, but there are plenty of other wonderful nuggets of misinformation out there.

Dinyar, you are right. I got my first information from there and when I visited this forum the first time I found out that everything I had read up to now was wrong. First it took me some time but now I'm sure that the real experts are in this forum :wink:
BTW, the fish which should represent a catfish looks more like a koi.
