I went into LFS today to pick up a few pleco's for my 75, and saw some Leporinus fasciatus the girl I was talking to got REALLY snotty and told me that if I got one it would kill my 10" pangasius cat, so I thought I would get some opinions. I really didn't like this sales girl's snotty attitude and won't be visiting the store again because of it.
Was she right?

Mine got aggressive around the 6-8 inch mark but nothing that severums and silver dollars couldn't handle. Don't think a 10 inch pangassius would have problems.
Ok well this sales girl INSISTED it would EAT my catfish From looking at them, they just looked like nasty nippers to me. I really wan't planning on taking one home today or anything, just asking about them anyway and she got all high and mighty on me and wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise! I seriously thought she wasn't going to sell me the two plecos after that!
I've had this type of thing happen, Since I'm a BIG Cat freak I always get the guy that thinks he knows more about their sizes than I do... Like the one guy that sold me a TSN that said they get HUGE like 20" 
I was telling him your kidding right... try 60"!!!! then had the nerve to tell me to look them up and I was wrong that they don't get THAT big when he asked what size tank I was putting it in... and I told him a 5000 gallon... I think I heard his jaw snap when it bounced off the floor

lol! how big and how much was the leporinus. it is true that they can get aggressive. but to kill a 10inch shark?
unless the leporinus have a superelectromahbetic eyesight then i guess he can.she just probably wants the lepo herself thats y she dont wanna sell.
if i were u, go back and buy it just to piss her off.

it'll make better than 48"... i've got 7 chances at having it happen so..... i like my chances and my 16' tank should be a good start for making it happen 
there were about 10 of them in a tiny tank they were about 5-6" As I said before I wasn't planning on actually bringing one home right then and there, her attitude just ticked me off!
It was sad though because there were 2 larger ones and they were really picking on the smaller ones and the tank was only about 10 gallons.
Oh and they were something like 5.99 each lol
