thats some great pics, is it true that thay will try and get out the tank?

haw are thay with other fish?

They eat fish that fits their mouth, and yes they try to get out of tank, I lost mine by that way.

Well, the tankmates of my cats are much bigger than them... and they've never tried to escape... though I must say my tank is well-covered... so there wouldn't be any risk anyway...

i would like to keep 2 with a ROYAL KNIFE FISH and a GIANT GOURAMI RED TAIL (laticlavius)

do you think thay would pose a problem with the knife fish????

 

[Loulou]

I keep mine with a RTGG and there has never been any problem...

But I think they might compete a little too aggressively with the knifefish for food... they become really bullies at feeding time... shoving the other fish away to swallow as much as they can...

what other fish do you keep with yours??

what other fish do you keep with yours??

My over-stocked 5 x 2 x 2 feet tank currently holds:

• 3 clarias batrachus
• 1 Pacu
• 1 RTGG
• 2 Uaru babies
  

Filtration consists of two canisters and water is changed at 70% on a weekly basis. Oh yes, I've forgotten to tell you, the Uaru babies might fit into the mouths of 2 of the cats... but there has never been any incident.

So, how big is your tank? And what do you have as filtration?
