Hi guyz. I have an urgent question. Someone please answer me sooon

I have a 5 inch Chaca Chaca Catfish (Frog mouth Catfish)
Today I got another 2.5 inch Chaca Chaca.
Knowing the predatory nature of Chaca Chaca I am concerned for the smaller one.

If I house them in the same tank,
Will the 5 inch one eat the smaller 2.5 one?

Please let me know sooooooon

Thank You
 
Have 3 around the same size. They tolerate each other.

But if it can fit in it’s mouth then it may if hungry.

I just got two small chaca chaca catfish that are 4in and they are in my 90 gallon with my other one and he's pushing 7.5in they have been in there right around a month and doing good the smaller one swam under the big one while he was propped up on the glass they've been in the sand touching one another and iv not had a problem but I'm not going to say that it won't happen but iv been thinking that my big one could be a female and took the two smaller ones under her fin like her own but who knows

These are some of the most fascinating fish I have ever owned. I got another 5 incher today. So currently I have a 5 incher, 6 incher and 2.5 incher.

I will post some pics soooon. Do you know how to sex chaca chaca? What are the main difference between a male and a female?
