I have a featherfin that's about 5-6" right now. Now, I've heard of them being this big and coexisting nicely with fish as smalll as cardinal tetras! How do you think he would be in my 125 gal, where the smallest inhabitants are skunk and angelicuz loaches, about 2" in length? Do you think he'd gobble them right up?

Not yet maybe when he gets abit bigger. I still dont think he would catch one of them as with there good senses they would probs be able to avoid him. When he gets bigger i def would avoid putting him in with small tetras though. While not exactly being predatory they are still catfish and wouldnt hesitate if they got the chance and where hungry.
what I've read and saw it only bothers fish for mainly 2 reason:
1. the other fish repeatly bothers the eupterus. 2. it just doesn't like that fish
. Mostly the first so it might be ok.

Although they mostly sleep in tight spots under pieces of driftwood that the syno wouldn't be able to get at... I'd still hate to find missing loaches.
i've been keeping featherfins through the years and they are not known piscivores. they wouldn't even eat feeder guppies. thats just my experience though.
