Hi all,

I've got an opportunity to do a spot of catfishing in the Tambopata river in the Peruvian Amazon and was wondering if anyone here could let me know what kinds of catfish inhabit that river.

A simple Google.com search will reveal at least some of the fauna.

Most of the people that study that area and post information on the web in English, seem to be adventurous fisherman. South America is the new Atlantis of freshwater fishing and everybody's favorite Red-tailed Cats are high on the list for anglers.
