Gagata gagata
Habitat: Sisorid catfish dwell mostly in fast to moderate flowing waters with exceptions being Erethistes sp. which are found in rather calmer waters. Aquarium Care: Probably the most hardiest gagata among all species found in India, but will still require pristine water conditions with low temperatures and live food. A bigger tank is recommended by me as they are constant swimmers, if not acclimatised properly will swim to their death. A beautiful addition to any riverine tank with a sandy/cobbly substrate.

among all fish native to India. Gagata
gagata can be found in the Ganges-Brahmaputra drainage
and are also known to enter the estuaries formed by
these two rivers.
