Reef-Safe Catfish?

[Mrs Smith]

Hey... I found this the other morning, and was just wondering:

Are my feather dusters safe?

The only thing we can figure is that he got on top of it and somehow squeezed his fat little self between the wall and the canopy. Don't know how long he was in there, though! He seemed perfectly happy, too!

Heh heh...great pic. Maybe that is the only place safe from the rampaging dog.


But, I think that catfish is reef safe, but not sure how well other fish would do with that one. I hear they can be very territorial.

Danielle, the fur will clog powerheads badly, gonna have to clean em weekly

They are not harmfull to corals, but I have found that they will eat any fish they can catch

You will also need a HUGE protein skimmer. You'll likely have very high "nutrient" levels in the tank.

I second the skimmer, gonna have some nasty hairballs

Ditto on BIG SKIMMER, ask Mojoreef about high nutrient levels from them catfish
