the female leaves her eggs and then it is the male's turn to take on
the duty. The male's duty is to stay with the eggs and to keep

watch for danger. This sentry duty lasts for about 40-50 days, after
which the young fish become fully mature.

Besides this vigilance, the male also makes a murmuring sound

using his gills and in this way keeps other hostile fish away from the

eggs. He knows that this sound will threaten other fish and will
force them to go away.

Allah inspires male catfish to protect their young in this way. Like

all creatures, this fish acts only in the way that Allah inspires in it
and thus ensures the continuance of its species.
