Wow.

I think I saw something similar but the feeder fish had spikes that cut through the dining fish's skin, although I think it survived, the feeder fish did not.

Oh the one that looks like a zebra with blue fins is pretty! What kind of fish is that?

The catfish is in tank with Frontosa cichlids from Lake Tanganyika.


Will it get big enough to eat your other fish? I mean, will you eventually have to rehouse it or can it stay with your other fish?
