Lol as my Red tail got bigger and bigger I kept noticing fewer and fewer "tankmates"....Soon it was only my red tail and a very large Oscar left...he at 3 8 inch Clown loach's and a few angle fish...I bought a dozen feeder gold fish about a year ago and the red tail and the Oscar ate all but 1 and that one is still alive and very plump now after eating Oscar food for over a year
it depends on your koi size. usually catfish are sold at 2 to 4 inches, so if your koi are bigger they should be safe. also you can control your catfish siize by it's fish tank. the bigger the tank,the bigger the fish. i have one 4 inch catfish and in a 25 gallon tank and it should grow up to 1 1/2 feet.
most fish eat things whole... if the food is bigger than his mouth and/or he is well fed he's not going to eat them... there is no way a 15cm redtail is gonna eat a 30cm koi...
Well, I've seen them in most good fish stores, not your typical PetSmarts however. If you want one - great, but be sure you can keep them healthy and can plan on getting bigger and bigger tanks! DON'T get one, if not! Really ... not fair to the poor fish!
The catfish at 00:25 is either a channel or american shark catfish. Either way they both have HUGE voracious appetites and will outgrow that tank before you know it along with the red-tail cat. Good luck!!!

My RTC tried to eat giant Parrot fish! If and when he tries and gets one stuck in his mouth, both fish can die. :( Don't do it!
ViaSandee 4 years ago
There is nothing wrong with putting him in there. They will get eaten eventually though.
