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. |
