Hoax fish??!

Post by Tom2600 »

I don't think you could call this fish (if it is real) a catfish but thought I would post the link anyway. Its reportedly a new species from the Amazon. Looks a bit suspect to me? :?:

That's not a catfish. It's a gymnotiform (weakly electric fish from South America).

Probably Orthosternarchus tamandua.
