A far warning though, Ocellifer Catfish like to have its own space and if other fish step out of line, it might fight back. |
| − | + | |identification=:This fish has a pale yellowish-brown body with black spots. Some specimens have lighter background colouration or minimal spotting. The characteristic to look for when comparing with other similar spotted species is the adipose fin. In ''S. ocellifer'' is is very long running almost from caudal to dorsal fin. | |
