Hi,
I've a upside down catfishin a 25g tank. He is abt 4" long , sharing the tank with 2 yoyo loach. But I'm planning to move the catfish to my 220g community tank. But in my community tank there is a common pleco, which is nearly abt 12". He is aggressive and terrirotial. Do you think that it's a good idea to move the upside and down catfish to the community tank? Is there any chance that my catfish will get killed by the pleco?

I would try it but keep a net handy if you have any worries.
What else is in the tank?Are there any other threats?

Thanks for ur reply.
Unfortunately, I don't have the pic of my community tank at the moment. I've angel, green severum, hi-fin louch nd two other common pleco. But two other plecos r just abt 3" long. So, I don't consider them to be threat for my catfish apart from the big pleco. The big one has been here with me for more than 8 years. He is bit aggressive towards any new comer.

I would try it but keep a net handy!If your pleco decides against sharing space then move it back.
You should be able to see if its not going to work out.
Why do you want to move it out of the 25?
