It is a member of the Snakeheads family. It is widely distributed from the Senegal River to the Chad system , including the Volta and Niger basins and many coastal basins in West Africa, up to the Nile and Congo River basins. It is a obligate air breather, meaning it will drown if not given access to breathe air. It inhabits marginal vegetation and flood plains. It feeds on insects and small fish. It can reach a maximum length of 50cm (about 20 inches).

It is a member of the African tetras family and is found in coastal basins and other areas of Africa, including the Nile River Basin. It mainly feeds on plankton. It can live in both rivers and lakes. It can reach a maximum length of 43cm (about 17 inches) and a maximum published weight of 500g (about 1 pound).

It is a member of the Elephantfish family. It is native to the White Nile,and inland waters from Senegal to Chad, rivers in Cameroon. It is also widespread in the Congo River basin, Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika, the Volta River basin and parts of southern Africa. It can generate weak pulses of electricity for navigation, finding food, and communication. It feeds at night mainly on fish and crustaceans. They can reach a maximum length of 150 cm (59 inches) with a maximum published weight of 15 kg (33 pounds).

Also known as Sampa is a member of the Airbreathing catfishes family. It is native to Nile and Congo River Basins, It is also found in other areas of Africa. It is found in large deep rivers within the mainstream or in deep pools and lakes or backwaters. It is a facultative airbreather, breathes mainly on gills with supplemental gas exchange from aerial breathing when conditions are poor or it is too costly to obtain oxygen from water.

Adults are able to survive in streams and swamps that are completely dry for long periods of the year, withstanding desiccation on floodplains by aestivating in cocoons until the next rains, breathing air by a small passage leading to the outside. Its diet consists mollusks, but small fishes and insects are also eaten in small quantities. It can reach a maximum length of 200 cm (about 6.6 ft) and a maximum published weight of 17 kg (about 37 1/2 lbs).

It is a member of the African tetras family. It is found in many locations in Africa, including the lower Nile River Basin. It prefers warm, well-oxygenated water, mainly larger rivers and lakes. It mainly feed on particular species of fish but will feed on whatever prey is most abundant. It can reach a maximum length of 105 cm (41.3 inches) with a maximum published weight of 28 kg (61.7 pounds).
