Is it true that Pictus Catfish can eat fish smaller then them?

[pnoiz1]

Like...feeders?

[nosoop4u246]

Yes, they will eat most fish that fit in their mouths. Do not feed them feeder fish though, they often carry parasites and diseases, even if they don't look sick. Frozen bloodworms are a much safer source of protein for your Pictus. Good luck!

[Chris]

it is true, in fact it's true for most fish. just about any fish will eat anything it can fit in it's mouth. you don't hear about it with tetras and the like because their mouths are too small to fit most other fish!

[srmatt]

absolutely, catfish, especially ones with whiskers are predators, once they are large enough to fit a rosey red in their mouths, i assume they might try to eat it, especially at night
