My catfish ate my aro!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Bigger fish than catfish doesnt always work. Some cats will eat fish bigger than them. Just recently some guys gulper cat at 4inch I believe, at his 11 inch aro or something like that. It was crazy, the cats belly was crazy looking from having that aro in it.


Its really hit or miss, Ive heard lots of stories like these. Cats have big mouths and can swallow big fish. A good thing you must always do, is make sure your catfish are well fed. If they are hungry, you better watch out, they do some amazing stuff sometimes.
 
Sorry for the lost but it did happen with me before.
Back then i purchased an 8-9" arapaima and put in the same tank with my 12-13" Sleeper Goby(water cow). Next day i noticed my arapaima was gone. took me 15 mins to found out the sleeper goby swallow it whole, just a lil tip of the tail sticking out. :(
 
That Sux, sorry to hear
