We support direct file uploading/attachment as it uses up a lot of resources. You can instead upload your image on an external image hosting site such as imgur and hotlink the image into your post.

Those pictures are actually of a white lipped eeltail catfish very different from the black eeltail catfish

Hello,

For marine catfishes, can use chicken liver as bait, instead of prawns? I figure catfishes are not particular connoisseur. I think any type of smelly meat should work for them right?
Damn Fish!!

It'll work but you may be missing out on other species of fish when you use it. Unless, of course you're specifically targeting for them.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The difference in catfish species can't often be distinguished from its physical appearance alone.
