What eats a tigerfish?

It's a little tricky to answer that question because there are actually several fish called "tigerfish," found in different parts of the world. They are not closely related, but share the name due to their similar predatory habits and often striking appearance.

Here's a breakdown to help you figure out who eats *your* tigerfish:

African Tigerfish:

* These are the most well-known tigerfish, living in African rivers.

* They are apex predators in their environment, meaning they are at the top of the food chain.

* Very few predators target adult African tigerfish.

* Large Nile crocodiles are a potential threat, as are very large African pike congos.

* Smaller tigerfish can be prey to larger tigerfish, as well as larger fish like catfish.

* Birds of prey might snatch young tigerfish from the surface.

Other "Tigerfish":

* South American Tigerfish (Payara): Similar to African tigerfish, they are top predators. Large individuals are largely untouchable, but large piranhas and other large predatory fish might eat smaller individuals.

* Asian Tigerfish (Datnioides): They are smaller than African tigerfish and are more omnivorous. Larger predatory fish in their environment might prey on them.

Important Note: There is no single answer to "What eats a tigerfish?" It depends on the specific type of tigerfish and its size and habitat.
