Electric Catfish aka Malapterurus electricus.

Awesome Photos again Alex, Awesome Fish.

PS On Price, I believe recently they were f/s in Western Australia (If I am correect the only state were it is legal to keep them) awhile ago for around the $400 Mark.

if you stick your hand in the tank and wee wEE them off, do they zap ya?

Sure do buddy. And by all reports they pack quite a punch when they get some size to them.

However I think unless your hand is in the tank while it hunts, or your really trying to get yourself hurt, you have more chance of being bitten by cichlids
