Amur Catfish
The Japanese common catfish, commonly known as the Amur Catfish, Far Eastern Catfish, and Chinese catfish, is a freshwater catfish distributed across East Asia and Japan. It is carnivorous and feeds on aquatic organisms, wherein its anatomy allows it to sink to the bottom and find food more easily. The Amur Catfish feed during the night and go back to their caves during the day, a facet of their behavior which is linked to poor floating ability due to bladder enlargement.
