Weird fish

Correct, by a person, who shoved another one inside the others gill.

Check the body,the body position shows its mouth is verticle,fishes don't have verticle mouths,the have horizontal mouths,fishes can't twist their head that much,there is no signs of twisting.
 
i found it on my own with a search in google. the only result to come up :rolleyes: gives some credibility to that, eh?

sorry i couldnt find it from the link you gave. there were about nine million different things i could click on.
 
Finally,others say it is fish shoved into another's gill,i wouldn't have posted the pic if i see it is a prank by fishermen,mutants do exist.
 
It might be interesting to setup an environment in a 10 gallon tank with leaves or what not and raise this land catfish! THIS ia Definantly NOT A COMMON FISH!!!! :)
 
I have a feeling these "land fish" dont exist. if they did there would be more than one website out there that knows about them, and there would be someone somewhere trying to import them.

how hard could they be to raise if they didnt even need water...
 
well.. all I can say is this: the article is coming from a reliable source which is www.planetcatfish.com I will research this later perhaps, but why would they lie? they wouldnt. Keep in mine, they were recently discovered in the 80's. They are in a location not easy to get to... AND they arent exactly a nice looking catfish... so that would cause their lack of popularity
 
You have to explore the earth inside out know what is true and what is not,unfortunately we cannot,maybe it is a new species recently discovered,for example the Coelacanth,they are supposed to be extinct millions of years ago but they exist in the bottom of the oceans.
 
Fishbase.org doesn't have them listed.... also, hemichromis frempongi was VERY recently described as a new species as opposed to being a subspecies of hemi. fasciatus....

also, many other new fish have been described in the 80's, such as parachromis loiselli which is now commercially available.
