???? Rare Jelly Catfish from Colombia ⚡️ | Mysterious Predator with Electric Senses! #jellycatfish

???? Meet the Colombian Jelly Catfish (Batrochoglanis sp.):
Imported from Colombia, this striking fish features bold bands of black, brown, and tan, long white whiskers, and sensory bumps that look like ich—but are actually part of a powerful lateral line system that helps it detect movement and electrical pulses from prey in murky waters.

???? A true nocturnal ambush predator, the jelly catfish is best kept solo due to its territorial nature and huge appetite. It’s known to devour anything smaller than itself and needs lots of space to claim as its own.

???? Pro Tip: Those white dots? Not ich. They’re specialized sensory organs that give this catfish a supercharged hunting advantage.
