The Fleshysnout catfish has hard, sharp, venomous spines in its dorsal and pectoral fins and should be handled with care.

Fleshysnout catfish eat virtually anything, including algae, pieces of plants, worms, snails, clams, microscopic zooplankton, marine shrimp, grass shrimp, blue crabs, mud crabs, insects, spiders, small fish, smaller hardhead catfish, hermit crabs, fish bones, mud, sand, and even scales actively taken from living fish
