Life Cycle
provided by Fishbase
Eggs are deposited in a depression usually excavated by both parents in mud, in shallow water. Parents guard the eggs and young until they can fend for themselves which lasts for about one month (Ref. 6028).
Trophic Strategy

Found mainly in ponds, ditches, swamps and marshes, but sometimes occurs in muddy rivers. Recorded as having been or being farmed in rice fields (Ref. 119549). Can tolerate slightly brackish water.

Biology
provided by Fishbase
Adults found mainly in ponds, ditches, swamps and marshes, but sometimes occur in muddy rivers. Recorded as having been or being farmed in rice fields (Ref. 119549). Can tolerate slightly brackish water. Omnivorous. Breed in confined waters during the monsoon months, but can breed in ponds, derelict ponds and ditches when sufficient rain-water accumulates. Oviparous, distinct pairing possibly like other members of the same family (Ref. 205). In great demand due to its medicinal value. Venomous fish, from its pectoral spines (Ref. 94495).

Heteropneustes fossilis by AravindManoj
The Asian stinging catfish or fossil cat (Heteropneustes fossilis) is a species of airsac catfish found in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bhutan. It has also been introduced to the Tigris River Basin in Iran.[1]
H. fossilis is found mainly in ponds, ditches, swamps, and marshes, but sometimes occurs in muddy rivers. It can tolerate slightly brackish water. It is omnivorous. This species breeds in confined waters during the monsoon, but can breed in ponds, derelict ponds, and ditches when sufficient rainwater accumulates. It is in great demand due to its alleged medicinal value.[2]
The stinging catfish is able to deliver a painful sting to humans. Poison from a gland on its pectoral fin spine has been known to be extremely painful.
This species grows to a total length of 30 cm (12 in), and is an important component of local commercial fisheries. It is also farmed and found in the aquarium trade.[2]
In India, in Kerala, it is locally called kadu (Malayalam:കടു) or karri (Malayalam:കാരി). It is highly preferred in Assam and locally known as xingi maas (Assamese: শিঙি মাছ) or "na singgi" (Bodo). In Bangladesh, this fish is called singi mach (Bengali: শিং মাছ),[3] In Sri Lanka, this fish is called hunga (හුංඟා) [4] by the Sinhala-speaking community.
