 Catfish are an order of teleost fish, the Silurformes. There are about 40 families in order. They are called catfish because their barbels look like the whiskers of a cat.... . The longest  is wels catfish, up to 4m (13ft)

What are special about Catfish ?

Catfish are a diverse group of ray-finned fish.... . One catfish can lay up to 4,000 eggs a year per pound of body weight. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. Young catfish are called " sac fry " because they still live off of the food supplied by the yolk sacs.
