AM>Hey:
AM>As far as I know any true catfish will grow until:
AM>        the tank ain't big enough any more,
AM>        the food stops coming,
AM>        something kills it.
AM>I've had several catfish, one was albino, all would eat anything
AM>including smaller fish.  One liked braunschweiger and cheese, also
AM>cat food pellets. He grew to be about 10" long in a standard 10 gal.
AM>(U.S.) tank, looked awesome.  Try cutting down on the food, or throw
AM>in some cheap feeders to distract him from the Zebra.  Some will
AM>disappear overnight, advantage being that plenty of food will be
AM>available without rotting in the water.  Of course, I had a catfish
AM>which would kill any minnows that came near him, and eat them later,
AM>defeating the "live food" plan!  By the way, "fishing minnows" (bait)
AM>are generally cheaper than "feeder fish" (pet store nomenclature).
AM>Well, over here they are, anyway.  I'm tired, you're bored, seeya

    Hi A. Mcashan,
     I had noticed that some of my White Cloud Minnows had disappeared! 
Maybe the Leopard cat ate them? I will have to re-house him/her because 
apparently it can grow to 15" or more in length, it should look pretty 
spectacular if it does, thanks for the info
                       Cya, Nigel.
