These eel cats come from India, can reach 120 cm in the wild. They're predatory but very peaceful. Purportedly the most venomous catfish in the world, however I did not experience that first hand. They are very reclusive in the aquarium, coming out at night to hunt. They are different from the marine Plotosus lineatus, which swims around constantly, but the body shape is very similar. These fish tolerate a wide range of water conditions as well, from freshwater to salt. Pictured animal is 30 cm, being moved to another tank.
