Ariidae
= ( air EE id dee )
This family contains catfish from marine and freshwater habitats.
A few practice an unusual mode of reproduction of mouthbrooding.
Not popular catfishes for the home aquarium as some grow too
big and boisterous with a rather dull silver colouration,
but a few of the smaller varieties can be kept with larger
tankmates. Most will need salt added to their water as
they grow larger. |
