Goliath Tiger Fish

Goliath Tiger Fish has a rusty color red body that grows up to 20-24 inches long.

It's sort of look like a rainbow trout but it is bigger. Local myths says it is a mutated form of the trout because of the sulfur from the coal mines. Myths also said that the streams where this tiger fishes live once filled with rainbow and brook trout.

This is the only fish in the stream that can withstand in the water contaminated by sulfur. Scientists are now studying them and learning even more. Locals said these fishes only lived within the 1.4 miles of stream.
