Hi, before I get into the details (and numbers), I would like to know if a
wild-caught fish is maybe more prone to being aggressive & carnivorous?

As mentioned above, I will get into the details based on replies to my question
above. No use spilling all the details, if I am just being paranoid.
 
Damn, I almost forgot about this thread, but I was rudely reminded about it a couple of minutes ago. The reason I asked, is because my RTC just seems to be working his way through all the other stock in my tank 1-by-1 ... hell, it's probably only going to be another year before he is the only left in the tank. Here is the part of the "menu" that he has already managed to consume ...

5x Juvenile Pangasius (ID Sharks)
1x Juvenile Oscar
1x Pleco
4x Bala Sharks
6x Clown Loachs
1x Silver Aro
1x Tyre-Track Eel
10x Mbuna Malawi's

--- and some others that I can't remember right :irked:
--- the fish highlighted in red, grew up with him (in at the same time or b4 him)

His remaining tankmates are --->

1x ID Shark Bigger than him
1x ID Shark slightly smaller than him
2x Oscars
4x Koi
8x Tinfoil Barbs
1x Pleco

--- the fish highlighted in Green, have bite/fight scars on them
 
yes it will clear your tank until its the only fish left if you care about the other fish get rid of the cat or get rid of the other fish my two cents

I always thought it was a case of "Will not kill what cannot fit in their mouth" ?
This one bastard is proving me wrong ... problem is, he is my favourite fish, had him since he was like the size of my finger
 
I wasn't aware that red tails were farmed and I didn't think it would matter untill you mentioned that your cat has taken out fish that it couldn't swallow.
 
Lol catfish will try to eat anything. Plan and simple. I Mean my tigrinus ate my rtc ha.
 
Honda where did you get the tig from?
