lima catfish appetite q's.

[bomber]

The smallest fish in my community tank are:
4" runt of a datnoid
8" mala wolf
6" thin silver dollar

I want to add a 18" lima catfish to this tank. Never had any experience with these cats, are their appetites extemely aggro where they would swallow my smaller fish?

 

[rwellbaum]

they will eat anything they can fit into there mouth

 

[greenbud]

you will have a tank with only a lima in a weak 2 at the most

A stated it is not a good idea if a tank mate can fit in the lima's mouth. Silver dollar is quite tall, so this may be ok. Mala wolf, I don't know; wolf fishes are usually sigar-shaped, so may be a risk. 4" dat is more definitely a risk.
