| Merodontotus tigrinus Britski 1981, the
Tigerstriped Catfish. To two feet, 60 cm. in length. Occurs in
South America: Amazon River basin. An occasional, though expensive
offering in the trade. Like many of the large members of this
family, the Tigerstriped Catfish needs to have its food
dropped/placed immediately in front of its mouth to detect it via
its barbels, to trigger a feeding response. |
