I have an Aba Aba knife about 18"! Love the guy.
Can I add a half dozen Megladoras Irwinni Catfish 6" each with him in a 180.
Will the Aba Aba be deterred with the cats armor or will Aba Aba go at them.
My Aba Aba seems mean and he sliced my finger open when I was cleaning tank he actual charged me.
Are they an Apex predator?

Aba aba are a notoriously aggressive fish that don't tolerate tank mates. Their bite is quite powerful enough to cut thru armored cats. Would only keep by themselves. Close to an apex predator in Africa but in an aquarium, absolutely. Larger and smaller fish are victims. They even break heaters,filters, and pumps. I hope u plan on upgrading ur tank down the road by the way. Others may give their opinion and be lucky enough to keep really large fish with them but it's a temporary thing. IMO.
