all things catfish


  Chacidae
Chacidae Chacidae = ( CHA sid dee )

There are only three species in this family which are commonly known as "frog-mouth catfishes" or alternatively "angler catfish"

These common names give away the nature of these catfish as they are out and out predators and should really be kept in a species tank on their own. Will eat mostly live food where they will "wiggle" their short maxillary barbels, much like the marine Angler fish, and suck their unsuspecting prey into their huge mouths.
