Hello Everyone,
I have a question on a fish that I ran across on the internet today. It's called a Striped Raphael Catfish (aka Talking Catfish). I am also wanting to put a Senegal Bichir in my 55G that I'll be getting soon. I know that you want bigger fish around the Bichir, and something bigger than its mouth is usually better. My question is, even though the Striped Raphael Catfish only grows to be somewhere between 5"-8" and has these spines that can cause a nasty pinch from what I read. Would it be safe in the tank with the Bichir. From the way I see if, the Striped Raphael Catfish can take care of its self with those spines. Do you think the Bichir would still try to eat it?
Thank you for your help
