Life habits of catfish;

Catfish is a fierce bottom fish. Afraid of light, I like to live in crevices, deep pits, earth caves or caves at the bottom of tree roots, and slow flowing water near rivers. In the still water of reservoirs, ponds, lakes and weirs, most of them lie at the dark bottom or under pieces of water hyacinths, peanuts and water hyacinths. In spring, activities and foraging begin.

After winter, it doesn't eat, but lurks in deep water or caves for the winter. If nothing bothers it, it usually can't swim. Catfish have small eyes and weak eyesight. They lie down during the day and go out at night. They hunt by smell and two pairs of tentacles. They are very greedy. The hotter the weather, the greater their appetite, and they are active on cloudy days and at night.
