A Question On Banjo Catfish

[14gtr14]

Ok, well i am setting up a dwarf puffer tank in a couple of weeks and have heard of them ignoring ottos and small plecs. Would they ignore Banjo cats? Before I get slated I have never kept Banjos and am just curious. they look amazing fish!

The trouble is that if the puffers dont ignore the banjo catfish they have no defence against them and will get hammered. I once made the mistake of keeping banjo catfish with Leporinus (a very nippy characin species) and the banjos were made tail-less over night.

I know of a member that did keep banjo cats with south american puffers, but these are known to be a much more peacefull species of puffer anyway.
