striped eel catfish!
striped eel catfish are a species of eeltail catfishes that are usually seen in very large groups!
their whiskers do not sting! they’re used to find food in murky water
striped eel catfishes do have venomous spines! so be careful
they forage in the sand for crustaceans, molluscs, worms, and sometimes fish!
these catfishes have a keen sense of hearing
