is it possible to keep my dovii about 11 in. with a 15 in. p. niger cat? the cat seems pretty well armoured and has nice spikes. will the dovii leave it alone?

It pretty much depends on the tank size. Nevertheless, since the catfish is larger and is also "armoured", I think they should be fine.
 
at this point my doviis anger level is not bad, but before i got him he decimated 2 peoples tanks, the only thing left in the last one was a pair of feste because they fought togather. he is currently divided from a large butti and doesnt try to get through. the butti is currently with the p. niger and tries to attack him at feeding time to no avail, he leaves him alone when he swings his tail around. kinda figured the dovii was capeable of more damage than the butti but wasnt sure if he could damage him(the p. niger)

dovii may try to eat it depending on size and the cats fins will go through its face.

Rubbish. A 11" Dovii will never try to eat a 15" catfish.


He probably meant the Dovii will attack (not eat) the the cat resulting in damage.
