Hey all, Im not new to this forum i've just never made a post before. I had a nice looking blue channel cat that I bought about 6 months ago. It was probably two to three inches when i bought it, and it was a nice fish to have. It always cleaned up the access food, but it just grew too fast. I have guppies in my tanks with my angelfish to give them a tasty treat every 28 days or so to change their dietys and get them some live food to go along with the variety of foods I already feed them. The thing grew so big it started eating my adult guppy, just eating them whole. So I put it in a smaller tank because I was going to trade it in. I generally put a lot of cichlid crumbles in the tanks for it to eat, because the stuff sank to the bottom, duh, catfish are bottom feeders lol. So when I put this catfish in the smaller tank and put some crumbles into the tank, something went bunk with my filter and the next morning the water was completely brown from these crumbles. This was 4-5 days ago, and the tank just cleared up from the nasty colored water even after a complete water change.
I was just wondering if there were any type of catfish like this that would stay small enough for me to have other fish in the tanks with them that they wont eat. Anyone have any ideas? If not a catfish, are there any types of fish out there that strictly eat off of the bottom?
