Fish are amazing!

[@1996keanu]

We call them "ito" locally they grow to about 6-8 inches about 1.5-2.5 inches thick. They become solitary as they get bigger and die off after they breed because you can see solitary weak full grown ones at certain times in a single dive swimming till the eventually die. It's spines are pretty venomous and effects can vary from mild pain up to severe cases where I witnessed someone lose consciousness after being stung. Never got hit by it's spine but from what they say its a sharp throbbing pain thats worse than pricked by rabbitfish. They taste great too though removing the spines takes up a lot of work

Nice info!! Thanks for sharing! It doesn't explains the fact that there are bigger salt water catfish are exist, which could live several years in colder waters, similar to eels, which migrates around the Globe.

A lot of the saltwater catfish are mouth brooders and cannot eat when they are carrying eggs so that might be why they look weak after breeding. I think some survive it though unlike eels and salmon.

What they eat? Dirt?

[@kofitheproducer3833]

O my

Striped eel catfish

[@beyondthewatersurface]

Correct! Now, where are the big ones?

[@t-rexstudioproductions781]

Idk

[@beyondthewatersurface]

you should do more research then, regular eels live in salt and fresh water... and these ones, probably stay in salt water all their life, split up from schools after a few months, keeps growing, loosing white strip, so who ever named them "eels" made a mistake...they have nothing to with eels family...these are bunch of babies of salt water catfish...
