Another fish that's surprisingly venomous are the surgeonfish/tangs, as a characteristic of these fish includes a venomous spine at the base of their tail, and some species such as blue tangs have venomous dorsal spines as well.
@@DanglingwithDietrik The naming of the sturgeons and surgeonfish do get confused often, though they are quite different groups of fish. About Sturgeons though, I'm not sure if there are venomous species of sturgeon out there, but they can do some pretty effective damage in their own right when someone gets hit into one while they jump out of the water, Lol.
Very informative video! I knew about the Striped eel catfish, here in Japan is called Gonzui, what I didn't know was that this little catfish was so venomous , I just thought about the spine, so if I catch one I will be extra careful! thanks!
Cool video idea and since I’m half Greek Cypriot and half English so i visit cyprus a lot and i am a qualified scuba diver so I will look out for the striped eel catfish
Striped eel catfish are delicious. I've been stung by those a couple times because they're a bit difficult to clean and prepare. Their sting really are painful, but not as painful as being stung by rabbitfish.
So I have been stung by a stingray atop my foot. It was after a long wrestling tournament in the Carolinas so my teammates and I wanted to spend our last couple days at the beach before having to head home to the Midwest. The first minute I was out in the water, the waves were big enough that they swept me off my feet so I couldn’t shuffle. I landed on something kinda firm feeling then WHAM! There was a pain on my foot that felt like I was being pressed on by a drill. I was in so much shock that as I swam backwards frantically to the shore I seized my right foot. As I came hobbling to the shore there was a stinger in there and a good amount of blood. At this point my adrenaline slowed so I could really feel the pain. It felt hot, my foot was twitching as I sat on the sand with it up in the air. The pain kinda shot up through my knee. It made me kind of flail around from time to time. My foot swole up a lot by the time I was being brought to the hospital. It felt odd to move my right leg for a little while after. Was pretty numb. It subsided by dinner. It got REALLY itchy the day after.
such a wonderful video. I am from Hong Hong, and the striped eel catfish is native and very common here. when I was fishing a few years back, I caught a juvenile about 5 cm, I got stung by it in the finger and the spine is very hard to remove because it has reversed hooks along it, and it's super painful. I did not have any serious issues tho, but this is how I feel, the pain has spread to my whole arm in the first hour, then the pain started to scale down, but in the next 6 to 7 hours I find it very hard to move my arm, thats it. The local fishermen told me that I was lucky because the situation would be a lot worse if I was stung by one of these adults then I'm pretty much done. In Hong Kong the striped eel catfish is a food fish and they are always sold alive in wet markets, but all of their fins have been chopped off once captured. but they are very delicious if cooked in the right method. I am also a reef tank hobbyist and noticed they are very rare in the aquarium trade. love your videos and I really enjoy watching them, hope more of these videos show up 🐠👍
I liked your videos vey much, its like watching discovery channel, nat geo and animal planet in the 90s. So much research involved these videos. Never seen so many interesting features about fishes. Keep up the good work bro.
One time while catching pictus catfish out of the pet store's aquarium that I worked at, it got stuck in the net. As I worked to get it out, it stung me stung me with its pectoral fin by pushing my finger into it with its tail. It felt like a bee sting and bugged me for a few hours, so I know they have some venom in their spines!
@@ghaniKSW2 no the name is correct according to its behaviour. They eat poop of other fishes. And they can easily distinguish between their own and others.
Got stung by the striped eel catfish once while trying to unhook the fish. Temporary paralysis for a few hours but did not go for any intervention. Pain went away after that. Great educational video. Lotsa love from the tiny red dot, Singapore.
SpOtted scat.. darn! Really painful when i gOt stung fOr the first time.. but i gOt use to the pain when gOt stung often times😅 what gOt me burst laughing is the greek translatiOn "spOtted feces eater!"😁😂🤣 of all the names thats the wOrst I've heard.. I've read sOme of the cOmments.. nOw i knOw why it is called that way 😆! Very nice video! Quite infOrmative.. i lOve it!!!!
I got stung by a baby channel catfish this year and I was surprised how much it hurt. I been fishing for many years and never been stung like that before it hurt for a few days
I got stung by the spotted scat fish 10 years ago when i was a kid. The pain spread and feels like swollen wounds but it hurts more. If I remember correctly, it was treated with the fish bile.
As a fisherman in North Queensland Australia I encounter Scats quite frequently. I have been stung a few times its not too painful and fades quickly. I can also affirm that they are quite tasty also, but you must remove the gut cavity (were the scat is lol) on capture or it will taint the flesh. At certain times of the year you can spot schools of juveniles grazing algae in the brackish reaches or rivers. Despite the stings and their skill at bait thievery, they are still among my favorite fish species.
I once got stung by spotted scats in my aquarium and its damm painful. So now if i ever own one again, i m planning to trim their spines as they don't use much for swimming it wont hurt them. Much .
Got stung by a spotted scat It got wedged in a water intake and I had to finger scoop it out. And I didnt know it was venomous. My finger felt like I scalded it in hot water and then rolled it in bees. Hot hot hot water did help significantly and I was able to finish the 4 hours of work after I ran it under hot for 10 mins. No lasting effects just respect for fish and venom
The striped eel catfish are a menace in Israel, but the small ones are the only ones that usually sting, but they sting in hoards. It hurts like a bee sting for 5 minutes, and then itches like a mosquito bite for about a week
sand weevers are pretty scary. i freaked out as a kid when i learned there is venomous potentially, fatal fish that buries itself in sandy uk beaches and you can just step on them
The Asian freshwater walking catfish is also venomous. People seldom keep the normal variant as aquarium fish but albino variant is quite popular among aquarist.
Foxfaces / Rabbitfish! I was working at my local fish store and we were unbagging a shipment of Foxfaces when one flopped onto my hand and stung me, just as bad as a lionfish sting! (ive been stung by everything)
Great video as usual. Can you talk about salpa salpa? Is a fish that I used to eat when I was a kid and just recently I discovered that has been used by the Romans to get high 😀
In North America freshwater Catfish, Bullheads, and Madtoms all have poisonous spines. They will not kill you, but man does it hurt if you get stuck, especially on the small Madtoms.
Hey now I don’t think the freshwater catfish are ugly the colouring on a big old Flathead is extraordinary ,you have to appreciate them for what they are a very efficient predator
I been stung by stripe eeltail catfish before the pain was way worse than scat, rabbitfish, waspfish as all I have been stung before The pain of eel tail catfish is as good as Putting your finger in between doors and slam it non-stop for min 6hr before the pain subside The swollen last about 1month And finger can't fully function for near 6month
There are bullhead catfish in the pond near me I think they might be venomous but idk I've never got stung but my dad has and says it's like a bee sting
I've been stung by a squirrel fish it feels like a combination of needles and razor blades and throbbing pain at a manageable pain level bad but not that bad pain went away after about 10 minutes definitely an interesting experience
I have been spiked by a striped eel tail catfish and it was one of the worst pains i have felt my hand was on fire for 12hrs and i was quite sick i don't recommend touching them
Here in the gulf of mexico we have hardhead saltwater catfish and they have dorsal and pectoral spines. I have a scar in my hand from one and the venom is extremely painful and lasts for hours and hours. A bowl of very hot water is the best thing for it. Thankfully it isn’t dangerous to humans, It just is extremely unpleasant
I got stung by a striped eel catfish, luckily it was small, so the, Was still painfully, but not as painful as the big ones, and the sting pain is beating, even the small ones are painful, I used hot water to dilute the venom, but idk cuz I sucked the venom out after the sting, but it was still painful

That is a good idea

That's crazy that there's venomous sturgeon out there, I thought the armor would be enough!

so dorys venomous?
@@bluetangsrock938 i coudnt find any venomous sturgeons tho there might be .
@@bluetangsrock938 Nah sturgeons are completely nonvenomous and harmless to humans.

@@ghaniKSW2 no the name is correct according to its behaviour. They eat poop of other fishes. And they can easily distinguish between their own and others.

@@ghaniKSW2 its true
The effects of the striped Blenny's venom is fascinating, how it works with the opioid receptors, very interesting
