The walking catfish is a freshwater fish that can crawl across wet land to reach new water. It lives in Southeast Asia and has also been introduced to places such as Florida. Its spiny defence is the reason it needs careful handling.1

Hello arano
It lives in slow-moving or stagnant water, including ponds, swamps, streams, rivers, flooded rice paddies and temporary pools that may dry up. It is often found in muddy ponds, canals and ditches, mostly on or near the bottom.1

  • Elongated body, grey or grey-brown in colour1
  • Often covered on its sides with small white spots1
  • Long dorsal and anal fins, and several pairs of sensory barbels1
  • Scaleless skin covered in mucus1
  • No adipose fin, a small fleshy fin on the back near the tail1

Ina heewi waylondireede e: It is often confused with North American ictalurid catfish and with close relatives such as C. magur. The walking catfish can be told apart from the North American ictalurid catfish because it lacks an adipose fin.1

It must be handled carefully when fished because of its embedded sting or thorn-like spines. It is also harmful as an invasive species, because it eats the food of native fish, preys on their young and can destroy fish farms.1

Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?

It has a sting or thorn-like spine hidden behind its fins, which it uses to defend itself.1

Humpito

1

It can survive 18 hours out of water.1

2

It moves over land with snake-like wiggles, using its pectoral fins to stay upright.1

3

In Florida, fish farmers have had to put up fences to protect their ponds from them.1

4

It often rises to the surface to gulp air, because it breathes air as well as using water.1

5

Walking catfish were imported to Florida in the early 1960s for aquaculture, and escapes led to wild populations.1

6

In Indonesia it is known as lele and is the main ingredient in dishes such as pecel lele.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: The walking catfish truly walks on land like a four-legged or two-legged animal.

Goonga: It does not walk in that way. It uses its pectoral fins to stay upright while it wiggles its body in snake-like movements.1
