Glass Catfish Compatibility

[amy1994]

Would glass catfish be able to go with discus/angels/BGK?
I think they can with angels and discus as i have seen them before, but i'm worried about them being with the Black Ghost Knifefish...would it be okay?

Anyone?

Does anyone know ..... ?

Im sure people with the knowledge to answer your question will pop along at some point, be patient

 

[amy1994]

Your right .....
Someone will eventually

According to a post from feb (in the other catfish section) they are fine with angels, also they are supposed to be peaceful so i reckon most fish will leave these alone. I am pretty sure if you made a post/this post moved to that thread then you should get a few more replies from those in the know. only thing that stopped me looking at getting these is that I have a full tank

Sorry I couldn't have been more help

Thats fine thanks

I just want to know for definate that my black ghost knifefish won't eat them .........

BUT they are quite small and may be eaten. you need at least 6 in a school if you want any.

 

[amy1994]

Yes, i was definately going to do that, but my BGK is around 7-8 inches at the moment, and as glass catfish can grow to 10cm wouldn't that be enough not to be eaten?

I suppose it depends what size i buy them.....

 

[AstonN24vantage]

usually they're found at the LFS in small sizes, but i've seen exceptions.

 

[amy1994]

Would they get eaten though.......

 

[AstonN24vantage]

if they can fit in the discus and angels mouths, potentially. they may still be nipped up too.

 

[amy1994]

I've never seen any that small

Blimey you are impatient

I have two glass cats in with my discus. I am aware they need to be in shoals but I;m trying to sell mine on

I have 24 cardinals with mine and they haven;t eaten any. I would also say I could not see a BGK eating them due to their shape and size. I say that having kept BGKs in the past for a long time
