fat bumblebee catfish... wheres my khuli loach?

[shadowd_dreamr]

I recently bought a Bumblebee Pimelodid Catfish, he is only about 1 inch in length right now. still just a baby.

I had no idea when I added this catfish to my tank that he would find so much interest in my khuli loach...

my khuli always hid so i never seen much of him to boot...

I was cleaning the gravel and my cat fish was VERY fat, he could barely swim upright..
After finishing up with the gravel cleaning I left the room.

When I came back I noticed my cat fish wasnt fat anylonger, and then i spotted my khuli loach... Dead, laying on the bottom of the tank ...


is this really common with this specific cat fish species.

thanks

yes, its normal for this fish. once had a 4 inch bumblebee catfish that ate a 6 inch tiger shovelnose catfish, and when i say ate, i mean he downed that sucker commpletly.
