Doradidae


Doradidae Commonly known as the "talking cats" due to the noise they make when removed from the water made either by movements of the pectoral spine or vibrating the swim bladder.. Confused sometimes with the Auchenipteridae family ( Wood cats ) but they possess a row of scutes along their sides which is characteristic of this group. Three pairs of barbels (no nasals) mandibular barbels with branches in some; dorsal fin with spine and 4-6 soft rays; adipose fin usually present.

Mostly nocturnal and very secretive and range from the diminutive Physopyxis lyra to the large and friendly Oxydodorus niger.
