A version of the giant catfish electric is in the ToH 3 and a regular version is in Gaming Frontiers Magazine #2. I saw it was listed as not being done ie the version in the 1e MM II.
So here's a go at it

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a giant catfish must hit a foe with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it tears the flesh.
Poison (Ex)
A giant catfish has poisonous feelers that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Dex. The save DC is 14. The save DCs are Constitution-based.
Swallow Whole (Ex)
A giant catfish can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of a smaller size than
itself by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the
opponent takes 2d6+8 points of crushing damage plus 8 points
of acid damage per round from the worm’s gizzard.
A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a
light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 12). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
