Catfish "streamers"

[Wet Whiskers]

actually if further studies can be found that the damns will DIRECTLY disturbed and ultimately destroy the migratory path of endangered species and those close to extinction(which also includes the "megafish") (which is any fish over 6 feet and/or 200pounds) by the year 2010, the damns will not happen.

on the list thats being researched to see if theyre spawning ground is
filamentosum
arapaima
etc...

Lets hope the studies are successful, and the people who make the decisions are wise.

The long streamer is for the catfish to detect any ground moving preys such as crabs, snails, worms, etc behind it. And when it's detected it will swoop in a circular motion to eat the prey, and return back to it's original position.

You can test such behavior by dropping some of those preys mentioned into the tank and observe.
