Catfishes

These fishes belong in the "Order Siluriformes" as members of the "Family Plotosidae" (Eel Catfishes) which contains 9 genera and 32 species.

Only one species of interest is found on coral reefs. The smaller the individual, the larger the schooling group. Larger specimens tend to keep to themselves. May look neat in schools, but actually better left in the wild. The bigger they get the more other fishes in the tank become a possible food supply.
