Weird fish

they lie because they got onto TV. Ripleys will show anything that is remotely close to being true.


Like i said, once a fish is "discovered" there should be ample evidence to support its existance. In this case there is not.

And you still skipped over my supporting arguments, but i guess they cant be explained.

BTW, there is absolutly nothing in the Guiness Book of World Records about a fish that lives on land.
 
The genus does exist, I've known of it. However, the genus is VERY obscure and little studied, which really goes agaisnt the fish living on land it's entire life. If it did, it would be better known among catfish fanatics, adn thus, there would be more links about it on the net. Honestly, for a fish with such big claims to fame, there is VERY little supporting evidence for it.
 
I cant back it up... all I can say is that www.planetcatfish is a reliable website and most people trust there sources. If you want, you can email them and find out. I trust them. I cant force you to believe me, because I dont have the evidence to support my claim. only that article. But i see no reason why they would lie and ruin their credibilty.
 
slipknottin-That's world records not believe or not,but you're right about tv lying to get viewers aka WWE,there are thousands of species to be discovered and thousands being extinct,maybe the land fish went extinct just right after people found it,could be possible,UFOs still lies in skepticalism,so does this fish,they could have been known only to researchers but not the media,a land fish is very interesting and people would illegally catch this fish.
 
Deforestation,remote places can't escape,the locals can get to remote places very easily and get these fishes to sell for money.
 
"Not surprisingly this species has yet to be imported as an aquarium fish."

Hee... I guess I'm the only one who's cracking up over this... terrarium fish, maybe ;)
 
I would still like to own this land fish...anyone know who I can mailorder it from? anyone have friends in Brazil?:D
