My New Clarius Catfish Vs Shovelnose Cat

[rossitt]

hi well ive just got a Clarius Catfish today 11 inch really nice and well active
ive allready got a 14 inch shovelnose catfish and i was told they should get on really good together?
the Clarius Catfish has been in the tank now since 1pm and they have started fighting
both of these fish have no teeth cant see them hurting each other, but is this normal with big fish
tryin to see who the most dominant one ??
coz i dont want to get rid of any of them ive been after these cats for a while now.

I know from the experiences of fellow ex club members that the Clarius is a nasty piece of work.
what size is that tank....

Sorry It look a lot smaller from the pic.
Anyway I would still be inclined to just keep either or, one or the other so tio speak.
Otherwise somethings gotta give.

When I was a member of Bradford and District AS. We had a member who was interested in oddballs such as these. He had an albino Clarius which he took to shows.
but rather than explaining the where's and why's of owning such a predator.
