Heteropneustes fossilis
The Asian stinging catfish or fossil cat, ''Heteropneustes fossilis'', is a species of airsac catfish found in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Myanmar. In India in the state of Kerala it is locally called as ''kadu'' (Malayalam:kadu ). It is highly preferred in Assam and locally known as ''singhi''. In Bangladesh this fish is called ''Shing Mach'',〔(),〕 In Sri Lanka, this fish is called ''hunga''〔(List of Freshwater Fish of Sri Lanka )〕 by the Sinhala-speaking community.
''H. fossilis'' is found mainly in ponds, ditches, swamps, and marshes, but sometimes occurs in muddy rivers. It can tolerate slightly brackish water. It is omnivorous. This species breeds in confined waters during the monsoon months, but can breed in ponds, derelict ponds, and ditches when sufficient rain water accumulates. It is in great demand due to its medicinal value.
The stinging catfish is able to deliver a painful sting to humans. Poison from a gland on its pectoral fin spine has been known to be extremely painful.
This species grows to a length of TL and is an important component of local commercial fisheries. It is also farmed and found in the aquarium trade.〔
