\nWhen you have the word “Goliath” in a name, it should be huge, gigantic and the goliath tigerfish stands up to the mark with its name. It is the largest of all tigerfishes and can grow up to a length of 5 feet and weigh up to 154 pounds. It has sharp dagger-like teeth that can tear anything within its reach.<\/p>\n
\nIt rarely attacks humans and loves to live in those places where other fishes are much smaller which is taken as food. This fish is a fearsome predator and said to be the only fish that isn’t afraid of the crocodile. It even hunts smaller crocodiles.<\/p>\n
\nIt plays an important role as a large predator of the riverine ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
