The fog talking catfish, Rhinodoras boehlkei, is a doradid catfish from the upper Amazon basin in eastern Ecuador and Peru. It is usually found sheltering among roots or sunken logs in flowing rivers and tributaries. Shy and nocturnal, it is totally unaggressive but will eat smaller fish, so tankmates need to be too big to be considered food.
