Nice Fish! (cetopsis coecutiens )

[ricoishere]

I just saw what was labeled at the LFS a Blue Dolphin Catfish, which is the cetopsis coecutiens. It's currently 4-5", but I read it grows to about 10". I don't know about its temperament. Can anyone here expand on this? It's small enough I can place it tank with my leporinus, and a few cigar fish.They're all 4-5"

very active, aggressive eaters, it might try and make a meal of your current fish

it'll kill the other fish.
They natrually feed by biting hunks off of fish MCH larger than they are, and will eat anything smaller.

I like their look and have tried them a few times but I couldnt keep them alive for very long.
