Anyone ever had a spotted kill all the other fish in their tank 1 by1. I believe my 3” one killed 2 5” gar a 4” bichir and 3 1-5” pbass. I witnessed it killing 1 of the bass but nothing else. All fish were eating and healthy the night b4 I found em dead. This happens every couple days 1 at a time

In all my years of the fishkeeping hobby never heard of a spotted or any Raphael catfish killing another fish.

I am also shocked by this I always thought they were pretty peaceful. But idk what else is killin the fish the water is perfect and it’s the same water I use in 6 other tanks, no other fish r dead in other tanks. And yes it did kill one pbass the pbass was alive still when I stuck my hand in to shew it away, it died few min later from the trauma

Sure it’s a raph?
This is definitely a new one.
Did the fish try to eat it and get stabbed?
