  • i hate cat fish now!!!

  • fucking sweet!

  • Those catfishes will pay for everything in my stomach.

  • Hahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahah­hahhahhahahahaha

  • 2:39 she missed one to the left...

  • urgh!!!

  • I love Synodontis! :D

  • 8 people were adopted .... 

  • that is some trippy crap...O.O

  • Only illuminatist corps like national geographic can keep attributing this beautiful to the lie of macro evolution.  If it were true then every single fossil would be in a transitory state, Satan is the most deceptive liar of all.

  • @shadowtiger18 Is it at all possible for religious nutbars to watch something and learn without bringing a tale into it.

  • Well damn. I feel mindraped......

  • what if the mom gets hungry?

  • if irony were made of strawberries, we'd all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now.

  • lol 0:48 is the video of the cichlid spitting them out reversed :P

  • FUCK YOU CATFISH!!! THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!

  • ohh

  • dam

  • SO SAD :(::::::

  • i wounder how they got the camera in that mouth? 0_o

  • @vireak209 zoom in??

  • when she puts them in her mouth it is so gay. the little ones that were her real babies are so cute when they enter the mom's mouth. but the catsigh ones. are just grose and gay.

  • From now on when I eat catfish Im chewin extra hard, take that bitches!

  • Ew. that's sick

  • I'm amazed at how they were able to get the footage when the cat fish was hatched and ate the babies. This and the announcer makes great work!

  • mother nature the true bitch

  • Just like mockingbirds!

  • it looks both symboitic & parasitic

  • Are they petricola synodontis

  • that catfish is an asshole

    >:(

  • wow

  • aww....sad =(

  • Wow, the cichlid got OWNED! That's SO evil, yet SO smart. All I can say is GENIUS

  • that mess up. i am not going to buy catfish no more after watching this

  • May be not a bad thing...if there's more catfish, the prices go down! I like catfish...it's delicious. Could this be the reason why catfish is the cheapest fish we buy at the supermarket?

  • damn nature! you scary. hahaha.

  • Amazing and disturbing at the same time.

    I don't know how to feel about this now.

  • hahaha those catfish are like the stereotypical black man of today... tricking someone else to raise they damn kids lol

  • man thats wicked!!

  • baby catfish 2 large 2 fit lol

  • Cuckoos do this to other birds.

  • smart smart catfish

  • lol dumb

  • The catfish is crafty but cruel.

  • I just lost all respect for catfish right there..

  • so funny and cool.....

  • What´s the black fish in ``15 seconds???

  • What´s the black fish in ´16 seconds???

  • Looks to me like an african ghost knife fish! Too cool!

  • Holy Crap thats smart, and sad, and cute, and hell with it its everything!!!!

  • THARS A SPY IN MY MOTHER CICHILD FISH

  • ANd that's why they're called cuckoo catfish. The first cichlid they showed was gorgeous! Nature works in odd ways. Fascinating, but odd.

  • oh man that's FUCKED UP. i don't like catfish anymore :'(

  • that fish mami is a good and dumb mom

  • Damn! That is so ghetto on the catfish's part. Free food and no babysitting payment! Catfish is a pimp!

  • Oh my god, that's horrible!

  • so what happens when the baby catfish grow up? do they find another group of catfish to join or they form their own?

  • I hate catfish, damn parasites!

  • thats sooo fucked up

  • that's messed up now i don't feel bad eating catfish

  • the synos are cute =D

  • Wow, that is a major douche bag thing for those catfish to do, yet it is a good strategy none the less. But that "killed her kids and now replaces them" thing gave me an idea for a horror film :)

  • 2:08 IT'S WAR!!

  • now how on earth can the catfish think of such an idea? there is a specie of bird that lays its eggs in a different specie of birds nest. the eggs hatch quickly and when the other eggs hatched, this baby bird which is bigger either peck it to death or simply push it off the nest. meantime the nesting mother bird continue to raise the young bird just as its own. nature is very amazing

  • Yep. That's the Cuckoo.I saw one in action when I was a kid.

  • Pelvachromis Cichlid and Synodontis multipunctatus ;)

    big shock for the mother Cichlid...those Catfish are sharp...lol

  • Oh well, more catfish for me to eat I guess...

  • i never knew cichlids were mouth brooders since they have tiny mouths.

  • my paroon shark would kill them all

  • my ciclids would slaughter all of those cat fish in seconds

  • what kind are they?

    I breed kribs and rams.

  • i keep rams but my number one killer is a rare ciclid it's called a spinille im think common name is yellow belly ciclid it feeds on tetras and other fish took down an oscar once

  • an Oscar isn't that aggressive its just a big eater and it gets a reputation as being aggressive because it eats smaller fish their are lots of more aggressive American cichlids than an Oscar, i bet you an angry red devil,green terror or jaguar would kill your spinille

  • sorry i ment salvini and i have a red devil with a few savinies nothing really wrong with any of em i feed live gold fish and angel fry

  • very interesting!

  • Mwa ha ha ha ha ha Another reason for me to love catfish, they're oh so devious :D

  • Pwnage.

  • i was expecting a shark in her mouth, or a dolphin at least.

  • wad a sad fish that is

  • OWNED

  • Thats disgusting.

  • that realy did scare me when i saw a catfish inside her mouth intead of her own babies ughhh kinda disturbing

  • ahhaha stupid

  • WOW AMAZING!

  • Wow. That's crazy. OMG!!! I'm sorry but that is really crazy. I never thoguht that, that could happen....

  • awesome! tghat was so cool! :D

  • i wonder how commen it is for that to happen

  • so the question is how do the syno eggs get fertilized? do a male and female syno have to spawn during the cichlid spawn, or does the cichlid male fertilize the eggs somehow?

  • Ohhhh my GOD!!! =S

  • i wonder if that happens to arowanas too

  • WOW SICK VIDEO :)

  • woah that was crazy

  • hats why Iam not a fan of cat fish, those ones are cichlid killers

  • amazing!

  • i love science!

  • its not science..its nature.

  • its not nature..its national geographic

  • Cool, they are kept also in aquariums.

  • Hardhead catfish are no loving father though, once the fry start to swim, the father devours them after carrying them in his mouth for a month. Yikes

  • kool!!!

  • thatz a bit creepy >.>

  • isn't this the Jewel of the Rifts documentary?

  • Yep, it sure is. Someone else was narrating...

  • Thats some strait up alien type shit!

  • awsome-ness 5/5

  • so amazing

  • too bad

  • holy shit@

  • catfish are parasites, i never knew

  • i just thought they were dirty fish that eat shit off the bottom of rivers and lakes

  • Interesting...

  • Wow! Too bad they eat the other fish.

  • no no.. the poor catfish was only a little hungry :(

  • Oh my God this is horrible especially since I just bought two of these catfish for my cichlid tank lmao

  • haha lol

  • he he....

    nature!!!

  • now that's just mean. lol

  • HAHA if only humans act this way i would of been a millionaire

  • those spotty catfish are nice ill get them

  • amazing how nature works!

  • hhhmm

  • and then once those catfish get big, eat their own 'mother'?

  • dat will be krazy when they ddecide to go in the mom fish and eat from the inside out

  • haha aw man

    that would be grody! =P

  • wonder if those catfish will think they're being protected by the mother when they're actually being eaten..>.>

  • Oh my god, that is so beautiful and sad. The catfish babies do what they naturally do, kill the cichlid babies. And the cichlid mom does what it naturally does, cares for the catfish babies. It's a loving relationship fonded upon such tragedy where neither party is really guilty. It's like so many movies we've all seen...

  • Wow genius evolution of catfish!
