The Singi catfish, scientifically known as *Heteropneustes fossilis*, is a species of airbreathing catfish native to South and Southeast Asia. This freshwater fish is recognized for its elongated body, which is typically dark brown or black, and its distinctive four pairs of barbels around the mouth. The species is known for its hardiness and ability to survive in low-oxygen environments, thanks to its specialized respiratory system that allows it to breathe atmospheric air.

Singi catfish are commonly found in ponds, swamps, and slow-moving rivers. They play a significant role in local aquaculture due to their adaptability and resilience. In addition to their practical importance, these catfish are valued in traditional medicine for their purported health benefits. Their diet consists of a variety of invertebrates, small fish, and organic debris.

The Singi catfish can grow up to about 30-35 cm (12-14 inches) in length. They are also notable for their ability to produce a mild electric shock as a defense mechanism. This species is a popular choice among aquarists due to its unique characteristics and the intrigue of its ability to breathe air.
