Re: Catfish for cichlids?
I had a 6 inch Rafael Catfish that ate my Mari and peakock cichlids.... I moved him to an outside koi pond and unfortunately he died today. I felt really bad I had to move him but if I did'nt he would have ate my other cichlids... I have like 30 cichlids (1inch to 4 inches) in one tank and they are always happy and very active. They all gather around happy to see me when I shake the fish flakes can in front of the tank.... The catfish got along fine with them as he was always hiding in this this petsmart aztec half dome cathedral... I use to have to put my hand in the tank with algae wafers and put the wafer inside the hiding hole for him to eat out of my hand... However I can definitely confirm they will eat your cichlids. I will never put a rafael catfish in my cichlid tank ever again. Even though he ate my favorite cichlids I still miss the chubby little guy....
