Not small fish, for sure. From the Cat-eLog entry:

Boisterous cichlids (even Mbuna) and larger Loricariids are the best choice although some of the larger Cyprinids (Tinfoil barbs for example) are also possible. Avoid slow moving fish.

I may be confused here??? Which "upside down catfish" are we talking about?

Silurus quotes the compatability for the Asian is it this one or perhaps which is peaceful...

I couldn't see anything in the original post to indicate it was definately M.Leucophasis?

If something's eating small fish it won't be the RTBS, so I think we are talking leucophasis here.

Have we confirmed the upside down in question is leucophasis???

sorry its the first one

Ok then, if it is Leucophasis, it is no way a standard community fish as it gets big, & can be nasty - it is definately not a good choice for the fish you have & should be re-housed asap
