Catfishes

980 species · 31 families

Catfishes are scaleless bottom fish that you instantly recognise by the long barbels around the mouth, which earn them their nickname. Those feelers, full of taste sensors, help them find prey in murky or dark water. Many have a stout, sometimes venomous spine at the front of the dorsal and pectoral fins. They vary enormously: from the metre-long European wels to small armoured corydoras and algae-eating plecos. It is one of the largest and most varied fish groups in the world.
