Talk:Walking catfish

Non-English names
I have removed the Malay, Thai, Tamil, Bengali/Marathi names from the article. It's getting out of control and this fish has at least 30-40 names in various languages (as listed in Fishbase). --Melanochromis 00:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Monster Catfish
I have removed an unsourced para about giant walking catfish in Cuba. Monster catfish are a recurring urban myth in the Americas, and, like all such myths, requires extra scrutiny and not just some link to some page somewhere. The Mekong giant catfish is the only species of freshwater fish to grow anywhere near 3m in length, and it is physically incapable of moving on land like walking catfish.

Scrutiny is doubly necessary when improbable stories are placed in Cuba. Anti-Castro activists in the US have a tendency to be very gullible and willing to believe even impossible things if they place the regime in a bad light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.99.133 (talk) 11:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
