Thinking about a cat for my tank. Like the look of giraffe cats but can't find really good pics of big ones, or small ones for sale. Are they peaceful? Or do I have to worry about small fish disappearing? These grow fast right?

Other cat I was considering was Featherfin catfish, or maybe more than one. Had one before and great cats.

Going in my pbass tank, there will be other cichlids in there as well. Nothing under 8-12" adult size though. Input?
