Walking catfish Profile

The Walking catfish, known for its unique ability to "walk" on land by wriggling, is a fascinating species originating from Southeast Asia. Typically, it showcases a gray or brown color and possesses an elongated body equipped with barbels around the mouth, resembling whiskers, which aid in its sensory perception. Though it has a distinctive appearance and intriguing behavior, it is not widely popular in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its invasive nature and potential to outcompete native species in non-native environments.
