Hardhead catfish
The hardhead catfish is a sea catfish that lives in shallow coastal waters of the northwest Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. It has sharp spines on its fins that can be venomous, so it is one to admire from a distance. Male hardhead catfish also carry their eggs in their mouths until they hatch.1

- Four barbels (whisker-like feelers) under the chin and two more at the corners of the mouth.1

Imachita chiyani ikachita mantha?
When it feels threatened or excited, its dorsal spine stands upright, and its sharp, slime-covered spines are its main defence.1

Mfundo
Male hardhead catfish are paternal mouthbrooders: they keep the eggs and young in their mouths, and do not feed while doing so.1
Some researchers suggest they may use low-frequency sounds to detect and avoid close obstacles, which is an unusual ability for a fish.1
They can make sounds by vibrating thin bones near the swim bladder, and by grinding their throat teeth or rubbing their pectoral spines. These sounds appear to be a fright response.1
Hardhead catfish respond to chemical alarm signals released by injured members of their own species, with their activity increasing right after the signal. They are the first marine catfish found to show this type of alarm reaction.1
They can live for over 24 years.1
