The Candiru Catfish

You can't pull it out because it sticks it's spine into you! Think of a guy catching a fish swimming up his hole and grabbing it only to realize you can't yank it out.

I can't even imagine! I don't think I'll ever get in the water again. I'm horrified!

I just emailed my friend from Brazil about it.

This has consumed my thoughts for the past 2 hours.

Catfish are well known for being bottom dwellers.

This catfish is a pee hole dweller.

There goes my plans for a nice fried catfish dinner.

I guess that explains why those Amazonian Indians always seem to walk funny on all those documentaries.

I couldn't even finish the article!!!

Well then, you don't have anything to worry about there TripleB.

You're so baaaaaaaaaad.

Yes, and I have a feeling it is just going to get worse.

That's what they call Jfunn. :funn:

But she is such a cute little catfish!!!!!

Whew, now that I have recovered from my little fainting spell.............that one article gave me a great idea- A candiru/piranha/electric eel moat around my house!!



"One last thing. Lest you think the candir? is all bad news, one visionary has proposed them, apparently seriously, as a key prong in a "fish-based security system" for the South Pacific--see www.spc.org.nc/coastfish/Reports/misc/wp99/candiru.htm. You dig a moat around your house, see, and stock it with candir?, piranha, and electric eels. "Should the housebreaker fortuitously not be attacked by the electric eels or the piranha then there is a good chance that he will suffer the invasive penetration of the candir? into the urethra." Is that brilliant or what? OK, you might lose a few pets or small children, too, but at least your silverware will be safe."

....and 30-gAy has fabulous silverware. Plus it'll keep all those party drunks from peeing in any of my water features for fear of making a mistake.

Water feature! How HGTV! Maybe it would make a good episode " How to build your own moat with Candiru Catfish" wihout an exploding uretha.

Ok. Phead has been talking about this thing since Bsmart said he was Amazon bound.

It scares me. But I can't quit reading about it. Here's what Kathydwells posted: Worst nightmare

But here's more...

Amputation?

Speechless
