baby aro and baby sun catfish ???

[BaTsBR]

Hi guys/girls
Today in a visit to a lfs, I saw a nice sun catfish (Horabagrus brachysoma), good color, swimming around the tank, nice fins, barbels, looking very health.
At thetime I didn't know what kind of catfish was it, and looking around I discovered.
So, here's the question:
Is there any danger to put it with my baby aro ???
the silver aro has about 6" to 7" and the sun must have 3" max 4".
If possible, monday morning I'm gonna get this baby home

can the baby fit its mouth around it?

i think they would be fine cause catfish swims at the bottom and aro swims on top and your aro is not so fragile anymore

The horabagrus will grow 15-20" if your lucky. However they are shy little beggars and tend to hide a lot. I only see mine if I put my moonlights on very late at night. They do however explore all levels of the tank. If the Aro is weel fed and the tank is large enough I think you should be OK.
