The Striped Tiger Fish is a species of African tiger fish. It hunts in packs of over 50. Although its pack hunting behavior is similar to the Piranha, it is much larger. Although on occasion they have grown to 60 pounds, this is extremely rare. They generally weigh closer to 10 pounds. The Goliath Tiger Fish that lives in the Congo is a relative that grows much larger. It is known locally as the Inguesh.
Pack of Teeth[]
On the trail of a boat disaster Jeremy Wade finds the Tiger Fish in the maze of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. He then learns much about its dangerous behavior and concludes that they are much more dangerous than Piranhas.
Africa's Deadliest[]
Jeremy re opens the case he started in Season 4 when he has one important question to solve: do tigerfish really attack humans? On the trail of the answer, he turns himself into human bait when he swims with crocodiles, Vundu Catfish, and the Striped Tigerfish. Although he is not attacked, the water at this time was cold because it was fed by the mountains. This is also why the crocodile did not attack him.
Mighty Rivers: The Zambezi[]
In Mighty Rivers: The Zambezi, several Tigerfish were caught in a brief scene by local fishermen.
