hey jj,

im guessing you mean my repheal catfish he is now about 7cm i have heard they can reach up to 13 cm and eat smaller fish but thats just what i have heard my personal experience is i have had him for a year he is mostly active at night and rests during the day. once he gets to know you he will start to come out more he eats every 2 days he likes algea wafers or pellets and sometimes i give him flakes to mix up his diet. my rapheal catfish seems fine by itself i dont know if it needs other tankmates but i wil be getting some panda corys so it mite enjoy the company. all the rumours i have heard about eating other tankmates and getting extremely big does not aplly to my fish he is very peaceful and even lets the otos suck on his side he is one of my favorite catfish since i have had many catfish including upside down catfish i would choose another one of these any day.
