Asian Sun Cat & Black Widow Tetra

[Farrant91]

Hi. Not sure whether this goes here orthe tetra subforum so feel free to move if necessary mods.

I have a few Black Widow Tetras, and I really like the look of them and want some more. But there isn't any room in my community tank for more. I was wondering if they'd be OK in my larger tank, but there is also a 12cm-ish Asian Sun Cat in there, would the Cat eat the Tetras? As I know they have a very large mouth.

The tetras are around 4-5cm.

Cheers, James.

asian sun cats will eat anything they can get in their mouths, pretty much like any predatory fish. as you say these do have big mouths that are similar to a sharks being the whole width of the head. dont underestimate them
