Patin fish (Silver Catfish) is a kind of freshwater fish that lives in river. It has a unique shape. Patin lives at the bottom of the river and starts hunting food during night.

Patin habitat is found in Riau Province, Indonesia. According to the local community, the fish used to be found only at The Indragiri River, River Siak, Sungai Kampar and Rokan River.
