finding paragraph #3

"A True Goliath: Chrysichthys cranchii, which is called the "kamba" in the Congo, is a pretty big fellow. (Fishbase.org) lists its maximum length as around 5 feet, with a top weight of nearly 300 pounds, and there's a semi-credible report of one that topped out a foot longer and 100 pounds heavier. It's one of 59 members of the family Claroteidae, a clan that also includes the giraffe catfish and the African big eye catfish, both of which have more charismatic monikers. Depending on what country you're in and what language you speak, the kamba is also known as the kanzema, kokuni, the manora or the tshirima." This paragraph tells me about the Kamba catfish.  This was a species of catfish that i didnt know about. And this catfish is found in Africa.
