Angelica catfish

Question
I'm back into freshwater fish after a long absence. Local pet shop told me an Angelica catfish (2" long) will eat Neons if I buy some. True

Answer
Hi Bob,
Catfish often are notorious for having large mouths that can swallow smaller fish. So I'm certain that the petstore is right about the Angelica catfish being able to eat neons. I'm sure the petstore is also taking into consideration when the Angelica catfish grows larger than the current 2 inches. Catfish grow fast too!

If you are looking for a catfish/bottom dweller for your neons, Corydoras catfish fit the bill perfectly in every way.

I hope this helps!
