Hello, this fish is a catfish, also called a black fish, because it has two whiskers on its mouth.

It is a kind of fish, and the pronunciation is the same (niàn).

Catfish, scientific name catfish, is also known as bearded silver carp, sticky fish, pond lice fish, and raw larvae. The distinctive features of this fish are the scaleless body, the mucus surface of the body, the flat head and broad mouth, and the upper and lower jaws have four whiskers. The best season to eat pangasius is between mid-spring and mid-summer.

Catfish is not only rich in nutrients like other fish, but also has tender, delicious and rich meat, few spines, appetizing, and easy to digest, especially suitable for the elderly and children.

Efficacy: Catfish contains more protein and fat, which has a good therapeutic effect on people who are weak and malnourished.

Catfish and pond fish are both popular terms for this type of fish, there are many species of catfish, and there are also many species of pond fish, and there is overlap in between.

Now let me talk about the difference. In terms of body type: earth catfish (brook catfish) largemouth catfish (also known as local pond catfish) Egyptian catfish Forktail catfish (pincer fish), of course, the above refers to the body size sold in the market.

Physical characteristics: The catfish has 4 whiskers and no dorsal fin on its back, but has a long pelvic fin. Largemouth catfish are very similar in appearance to earth catfish, but they are much larger in size and taste less than earth catfish.

The catfish has 4 whiskers and basically no dorsal fin, only a little dorsal fin near the tail. Egyptian pondfish has 8 whiskers and a long dorsal fin.

Water quality requirements: Native catfish (brook catfish) Forktail catfish (pincer fish) Largemouth catfish (also known as local pond catfish) Egyptian pond catfish (the pond water of Egyptian pond catfish is really dirty).

Taste and texture: Native catfish (brook catfish) Forktail catfish (pincer fish) Largemouth catfish (also known as local pond catfish) Egyptian pond catfish.

**Above: Native catfish (brook catfish) Forktail catfish (pincer fish) Largemouth catfish (also known as local pond catfish) Egyptian pond catfish.

The adult weight of the native catfish is only about one catty, and the other catfish are much larger. If the catfish does not have an earthy smell, the taste is close to that of the pufferfish, and the soup is quite fresh and sweet, which is several times that of the Egyptian pond fish on our side. In general, canteens and fast food restaurants sell Egyptian pond fish.

There are also people who sell largemouth catfish fry pretending to be native catfish, haha.

It's a kind of fish, but it's called differently.
