As long as the jar is too big to be eaten, I can't see the goonch bothering it. I've kept multiple goonch with aro's with no issues.
I can't speak to how the jar would be with the catfish as I've never particularly cared for jardini personally

how big does too big to be eaten mean? like more than half the length of the goonch? or more than 3/4?
Basically, will it fit in the mouth lol. I've seen bigger cats down some impressive meals at times, to include a juruense I had one time who choked down a Leptobotia elongata who was roughly the same length but thinner over the course of about four days. The jur could only fit about 2/3 of the loach at the start, but I'll be damned if he didn't finish the meal.
I've seen similar drama out of one goonch I had who was nicknamed the Lord of Death due to his murderous proclivities. He killed and/or ate everything in the tank with the exception of one fire eel for reasons I don't pretend to understand. This was a different species than what you're considering however; ime rutilus are far more docile. I've no direct experience with suchus.
Long and short of it is that I firmly stand by what I have in my signature line: never trust a catfish.
ah now to just find somone who has one and will ship to me. would you know anyone i can contact in SEA that would be able to possibly procure one? shipping from where theyre caught would definitley be cheaper than getting it shipped from america
Ok that's fair. I can see how that would be problematic. Unfortunately I don't have any contacts in that part of the world outside of
