I have had this giraffe cat from around 4" and people told me that i was mad to keep such a fish in a comunity aquarium. I stuck to my oppinion that they would not hurt a fly. True to the word the cat is just over a foot long and all of my tetras are intacked. So stick that in ur pipe and smoke it. Im now going to add a very small senegal bircher with the same philosophy, buy fish that will grow large, small and have no problems. I think its teretorial respect.
