Catfish belongs to the group of ray-finned fish. They inhabit freshwater ecosystems such as rivers and streams. Some species of catfish are adapted to the life in saltwater and caves. They are nocturnal carnivores and cannibals. This, of course makes them hard to breed and farm-raise. The order Siluriformes as a whole are commonly caught in real life, usually in ponds or lakes.

Giant Gourami can grow up to 2 feet (60 cm) in length. They are believed to have originated in Java, and possibly Sumatra, Borneo, and other islands in the Malay Archipelago.

The Janitor Fish, also known as the Sailfin Armoured Catfish, is an invasive species of Catfish native to South America’s Amazon river basin. They are herbivores and often consume algae.

The Black Pacu, also known as the Tambaqui, is native to South America. They are an impressive fish because they can reach a size of 3 and a half feet (108 cm) in length and weighing over 60 pounds in the wild.
