Free Fish

I have 3 coral catfish that I do not want any more. They seem to hit the sand bed good at night picking at everything. They school together, but not seen much during the day. Let me know.

I am not 100% sure. I have had them about 6 weeks. I havent seen any adverse signs from them. I want to cut down on my bio load to try and eradicate all my algae.

How big do they get? What do you feed them?

I'd say they are reef safe until they get bigger, then they stop schooling and lurk in the rocks waiting for a meal to swim by.

Don't forget that they're poisonous too.

Mom, you want these? They might get too big and your mandiran might end up missing....could be a problem.

I've read they are not reef safe and loose their color when they get big. Mandarin is my favorite fish and don't want to lose him. They also eat snails and crab. What do you do with them when they get 12"? They might be good on the grill or pickled. Got2lb have any fish yet? Find out if they're compatable with octopi. They could live in my fuge with the clowns for a while.
