Catfish

are catfish cold blooded or warm blooded

you have to carefully grab his or her tail and stomach if he or her is about to sing you slide your hands down a little and her whiskers can't reach you enjoy catching cat fish or sunfish

yes a small amount

Some are. But many will only cause injury with their hollow barbed fins, which can deliver a stinging protein. But some species, such as the striped eel catfish, can deliver a toxic mucus that may be fatal to humans. The edible portions of catfish do not contain any toxins.

A recent study suggests that about half of the 3000 known species of catfish are poisonous. Only a few species are poisonous enough to hurt humans (none in North America). The rest cause about the same amount of discomfort as bee stings. National Geographic also states that as the catfish grow, the venom glands shrink, indicating the venom glands are meant for defense while the fish is young.

The venom comes from glands near the pectoral fins. When the fins are grabbed the glands are ripped, releasing the venom.

The majority of catfish species have poisonous barbs located within their dorsal (top) and lateral (side) fins. If stuck with one of these, they can inject a toxin which causes a painful sting which usually resolves on its own after time. However, like any wound, it can get infected and it is advisable to clean and treat it. Only a select few of catfish species (located in areas of Southern Asia and India) have stings which could cause serious complications, or very rarely, death.

The catfish toxin is protein-based (like bee stings) and thus is treatable with meat tenderizer. Ammonia and vinegar will not be very effective, as they are alkali (base) treatments, to be used for acid-based toxins.

sometimes they swallow small childen creepy huh?

Just about anything that fits in its mouth.

Mostly other fish or dragonfly larva.

no not exactly they are actually kind of like catfish there smooth

All catfish have a mild venom in their pectoral and dorsal fin spines. As for eating, thet are good if they don't come from polluted waters.

Probably ich (Ichthyophthirius multifilis). It's a parasite.

Catfish feed on pellets that float on top of the ponds. The pellets are made of a mixture of soybeans, corn, wheat, vitamins, and minerals.

As far as I can gather, they simply out-grow anything that is likely to eat them.

The best tasting catfish is the Flathead catfish. The best meat on a Flathead is the belly meat. I believe Flatheads taste better because they mainly feed on live bait, where other catfish eat just about anything.

Yes.

Dolphins are predatory gamefish that forage chiefly in open water (pelagic).

Mackerel, herring and squid are common prey, but a small gafftop sailcat has no reason to feel safe around bottom probing dolphins ;-)

No the two are separate species.

They are not poisonous at all. they are very calm, nice fish who go wel with other fish and will not harm them unless they are small enough to fit inside the rtcs mouth, then the rtc will eat it. they reach up to 5 feet maximum size but in captivity usually only 3-4 depending on the size of the tank and the fishs diet.

More than 9. Less than 1 million.

Yes, catfish in the Nile river do swim upside down.

round about 800 bells

You can, but you should first soak it for a few minutes before feeding it to the catfish. They also eat small worms and brine shrimp.

no, they put the squid in there but hole then it.

Any tattoo on any person's body has it's own unique meaning, even if in some remote way, to that individual. A catfish tattoo could be dedicated to a family member that loved fishing, or it could be in memory of the good old days with a long lost friend. It's really hard to put a finger on exactly what a tattoo means. It really would be impossible to say what exactly this catfish tattoo means without asking the person with the ink.

As explained musically by The Lovin' Spoonful:

Well I went down the hill about twelve o'clock

I ran right back and I got me a pole

I'm a goin' down to the fishin' hole

And you can come fishin' all the time

Pappy been a fishin' all the time

Momma goin' fishin' too

Well you bet your life your lovin' wife

Can catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you got good bait

Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate

So come on baby, come on down

I'm a goin' fishin' Yes I'm goin' fishin'

And you can come fishin' too

Well I went down the hill about one o'clock

Spied them catfish a swimmin' around

I'm a goin' down to the fishin' hole

And live in the country, stead of the town

Pappy been a fishin' all the time

Momma goin' fishin' too

Well you bet your life, your lovin' wife

Can catch more fish than you

Any fish bite if you got good bait

Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate

So come on baby, come on down

You can come fishin' stead of just wishin'

That you had come fishin' too
