The term "tiger fish" typically refers to several species of freshwater fish known for their sharp teeth and striking appearance. One of the most well-known species is the Hydrocynus vittatus, found in rivers and lakes across Africa. Tiger fish are characterized by their elongated bodies, vibrant coloration, and distinctive tiger-like stripes, which give them their name. These fish are popular among anglers due to their aggressive nature and strong fighting ability when caught. They primarily feed on smaller fish and are known for their speed and agility in the water. Tiger fish play an important role in their ecosystems as both predators and prey.
