Long-whiskered catfish are fishes of the Pimelodidae family (order Siluriformes), a large family (more than 50 genera) of Central and South American catfishes. Many Long-whiskered catfishes grow to be very large, including the largest catfish in the world, the Piraiba (Brachyplatystoma filamentosum). They are super-cool creatures.
