No, but they can inflict a wound that can become enflamed or infected. If you are ever finned by a catfish, make sure to clean the wound.

If you are fishing in fresh water, try to clean it with bottled water temporarily until you can get home to clean it properly.
If you get finned so badly that the bleeding won't stop. Go to the nearest Emergency Room. The fin might have hit a blood vessel.
Are cichlids compatible with catfish?
There are so very many different species of fish known as 'catfish' that it is impossible to give you an answer. Please say which species of catfish you are asking about. they are channel catfish The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) could well be one of those fish that are very hard to keep with other species. The main reasons for this are twofold. First they are voracious eaters of anything edible, living or dead, so you would need to make sure that whatever species of fish you put with them was considerably larger than the catfish to avoid it being eaten and secondly you would need a larger tank than normal to house the catfish because they grow so very big. 20 kgs is not unusual for a channel catfish and finding another species that can live successfully alongside something that large would be very difficult. The answer to your question therefore is:- I don't know of any species of fish I could recommend as being compatible with channel catfish. Sorry.

How much food does a catfish eat per day?
If your Cory catfish is in a tank with no other fish species, it really doesn't matter. If you have other fish species with it in a tank I would try turning off the lights at night and feeding your Cory then.

When catching catfish can they sting you?
Pee on the wound Urine may help jellyfish stings feel a little better but will do little for the actual problem at hand. On the ambulance we carried a little jar of MSG, monosodium glutemate. It is also known as meat tenderizer. MSG is a protein dissolver, which is how it breaks down the proteins in meats and make them more tender. The slime on the catfish is the actual culprit and when stung by a catfish, this slime gets into the cut or wound and plays heck on the nerves. Spit into your hand and add the MSG. Mix until a paste is formed and place directly on the wound. Bandage and in about 30 minutes the poison will be nullified. This works well for jellyfish stings, bee and wasp stings. Listerine works best for fire ant stings. put some on a small cotton ball and squeeze out most of the excess, apply the cotton ball to the bite site and bandage with a bandaid and it will aid in the burning and can help with the little white blisters that sometimes follow. Clinically speaking, urine is best for atheletes foot. It is bacteriostatic, or free from bacteria and can help atletes foot go away faster. Just pee on your feet in the shower.
Because language is arbitrary and most words do not have any kind of resemblance to real-world objects. Words are symbols, in the same way the letter W represents a certain sound, but there's no reason why it couldn't represent the sound represented by the letter M if everyone agreed that it did.
If you changed your name tomorrow you would still be the same human being, just with a different set of sounds as your name.
The word "fish" comes from Old English, and before that from Germanic.

Fish have a short shelf life than other meats. for best results it's recommended to cook raw fish within 24 hours. It's safe longer than that but you are much more likely to get that "fish" taste.
