This is the family of Catfishes that have the notorius Clarias Batrachus.

Now, I'd like to know this: Are the other members of the Genus Clarias as bad as the Batrachus? Also, would any of the Clarid catfish be ok with tankmates?
 
I have a Heterobranchus - that's a one fish per tank species - certainly the most territorial of the clarridae !
 
channallabes apus doesn't grow that big, but is quite compatible with other tank mates, is not territorial at all
 
I give walking catfish as food only to others. They are quite active and grow really fast but they do tend to bother tank mates when they are on the prowl and are grown
