The eel-tailed catfish is a freshwater fish with a large head, thick lips and a tail that narrows like an eel's. It lives in the Murray-Darling river system in eastern Australia. Its fins carry sharp, venomous spines, so it is important to know it when you are in the water.1

Juveniles feed on zooplankton and small insects, especially chironomid (midge) larvae. Fish over about 100 mm also eat small fish, and adults eat shrimps, crayfish, midge larvae, molluscs and dragonfly, caddis fly and mayfly larvae.1

1

Males and females both help: the parents guard the nest of eggs until they hatch.1

2

The nest is built one or two weeks before spawning, when water reaches 20–24 °C.1

3

Juveniles often gather in groups, although adults usually live alone.1

4

Its populations in the southern Murray-Darling have declined so much that most are extinct or nearly so.1
