My LFS has a 10in Trachycorystes trachycorystes. I am seriously fighting the urge to purchase this beautiful cat. I could potentially house it in my 120g with a H. Liberifer Severum and 6 M. Hypsauchen silver dollars. I have 2 spotted (4in/100mm) and 2 striped (5in/125mm) Rafaels in the tank though.
Would the T. try to eat the rafael cats?

I don't know if the doradids would become food, but certainly they would compete with the Trachycorystes for hiding places, so they would probably attract the aggression from this wood cat. I don't think it's a good idea to put them together.

But understand I say that with no personal experience with Trachycorystes. Hopefully someone else with experience will chime in.

Cheers, Eric
