Cetopsis coecutiens
This species is a shoaling, aggressive carnivore, biting other fish. It also parasitises catfish gills and river dolphins, entering their various orifices. It is not the same as the Candiru catfish that is supposed to do that to humans.

Whale Catfish - The Underwater Daredevil!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Dive into the wild world of South America's tropical freshwaters with this photo print! Meet PM-10776, the notorious Whale Catfish - a true daredevil of the aquatic realm. This feisty feline may look innocent, but don't be fooled by its charming whiskers and sleek body. Known for its aggressive nature and carnivorous appetite, this shoaling sensation takes no prisoners when it comes to mealtime. Watch as it fearlessly bites down on unsuspecting fish, asserting its dominance in every underwater encounter. But that's not all! Our adventurous Whale Catfish also has a mischievous side. It loves nothing more than parasitizing catfish gills and even river dolphins - sneaking into their various orifices for an unexpected surprise! Don't worry though; humans are safe from these shenanigans. Unlike its infamous cousin, the Candiru catfish, our friendly Whale Catfish prefers to keep its pranks strictly within the animal kingdom. So if you're looking for an aquarium addition that will add some excitement to your underwater world, look no further than this charismatic creature. With its striking presence on the seabed and unparalleled predatory skills, PM-10776 is sure to make a splash in any aquatic environment!
