Description
The African Tigerfish is a predatory freshwater fish distributed throughout much of Africa. This fish is generally a piscivore but it has been observed leaping out of the water and catching barn swallows in flight. They have a large head, fitted with eight sharp teeth per jaw, which they are able to replace simultaneously. Due to its ferocious appearance, people may be tempted to keep the African Tigerfish as a pet. However, this is generally not recommended and should only be attempted by those with advanced skills in keeping freshwater aquariums. In the United States, it is illegal to import this species into Texas, Utah, and Florida.
