My lfs has Mystus Leucophasis, very cool upside down cat. Has anyone had these? Will it work in my setup? Just think of getting one... thanks
 
I purchased one of these a while back - stunning looking fish.
He was about 6 inches.

I did my research before hand & it seemed they should be fine in my mixed African tank.

Wow... How wrong was that...

On the first night he wiped out any fish that would fit in his mouth.
I tried to catch him that night but couldn't, I wasnt going to take out all of the rocks at midnight...

Next day he had turned his attentions to the Tropheus & was chasing & trying to bite 3.5 inch tropheus..

All rocks were taken up & he was brought back to the shop immediately.

It seems they work out fine for some people, but my one was a killer. I wouldn't go near them if I were you.
 
Enough said, I'm leaving this one alone, Thank you for the info!
 
How big is it?

I have had mine for 3 years w/o any problems. I would advise no small fish, other than that, there are sweet.
