Pseudopimelodus bufonius
How predatory are these guys towards other cats ? found a 4-5" one in a LFS which I'm thinking of getting for my 5ft but I'm worried it may eat the other planned cats, which fingers crossed would be 2x Liosomadoras oncinus 3-4", a couple of L091 around 2-3", for as cool as he looks would much rather have the jag's and L091's if he is likely to try and eat them.

They will eat anything they can fit in their mouth, which is BIG. Never kept them but just grow out the other cats first and then introduce the bufonius.

Re: Pseudopimelodus bufonius
I second that: they appear to be opportunistic rather than predatory in captivity and, as with most such cats, if something fits their mouth, it'll be at risk.
