Daily fish fact #764

Pygmy corydoras!

This tiny catfish tends to grow to be about 2.1 cm (0.8 inches). They have an unusual habit of hovering in the water column instead of resting on the bottom!

Would you be so kind as to draw a fish? Any fish you desire. But it needs legs.

At first I was gonna be really pedantic and do the whole "uh ahkshually every tetrapod I've drawn is technically a fish with legs"

But then I thought about how cool a Madtom with boots would be

here's something stupid: the catcatfish

some quick facts:

they're nocturnal and tend to roam around while awake.

they have keen senses of smell and hearing, but terrible eyesight. despite this, they also have a tapetum lucidum, making their pupils "glow" in the dark.

their fur is short, dense, and oily to waterproof them.

they prefer a diet of mostly meat and are attracted to strong-smelling food like fish, cheese, and anything fermented.

the elongated dewclaw on each front paw is sharp, flexible, and nonretractable. it injects a venom that causes respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in prey and, in extreme doses, humans. veterenarians typically remove the dewclaw venom glands during the neuter/spay procedure.

they grow to an average of 1m and 23kg (3ft and 50lb) but can reach up to double that length and triple the weight!

Daily fish fact #734

Squarehead catfish!

They're ambush predators, hiding themselves in the soft substrate of their riverine and pond habitats and using their moveable barbels as bait. They're very dedicated to their disguise, not moving even when touched lightly!

I'll also show one of my mermaids from last year, since I haven't posted it here yet~ She is a catfish and lives in polluted river, feeding on gulls ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
