How small is small enough to eat?

[Dreamsing]

Assuming all of the fish reach their projected max length, would a BGK eat corie catfish or firemouth cichlids? They would be living in a 125 gallon, well planted, amazon biotope tank.

Should be fine. Cory Cats are too large to be eaten. Kept a Firemouth with my BGK at one point in time with no problems as well.

should be fine, but the bgk once large could kill those fish...i have mixed them all...my 13" bgk has killed a 4" aro and killed a few other fish aswell in simmilar size ranges...

As with all fish. If a predator has a mouth big enough to eat a smaller fish then you'd better be careful.......

Your firemouths will definitely be fine (assuming they are decent size) but I can't say the same for your cories. As long as they aren't one of the smaller varieties you should be ok.

My 14"+ eats market shrimp that are 2" long. They can open their mouths much larger then most people realize.

Should be okay. I once kept a 6" BGK with 1"-1.5" Tetras.
