Had a gulper cat that could eat a finger if he wanted to. I pet him if I wanted to. I owned him? predator or not lmao
Wadafak the fish is literally slightly longer than a finger and probably has no teeth ???
I used to love getting by my gar and see the blood coming out my finger

It’s a wild caught parasitic catfish from South America. The have small sharp serrated teeth and are know to hinge into the sides of fish no matter how big it is and do death rolls. About 3 rotations per second and remove large chunks from the side of the fish…. This guy is new to an aquarium he’s not used to it yet…. YES IM SCARED TO PUT MY ARM IN WITH IT. Until he calms down gets used to being in a fish tank and not eating live then yes I will definitely be fine with putting my arm even head into the tank with him but right now this thing is still a wild animal just in a smaller space. Trust me dude I’ve seen this thing with my own eyes in action eating a fillet. It’s terrifying to imagine that being your arm. Around here in my town and family I’m know for doing absolutely stupid stuff just for the fun of it. I love the adrenaline but I recently had a bad experience at a hospital and don’t want to go back any time soon lol
It has teeth trust me they’re tiny but they’re there. I’ll try to get a picture of them tonight
I think so. I’ve seen him grab them while they float down and he never spits it out so I can only assume he eats it
My man, it's tiny, and basically blind. No way that fish will do any significant damage to your arm if you pull out the driftwood or vacuum the substrate.
