Can anyone tell me if these guys are aggressive I want to put one in with the fry, but I dont want it to eat the baby's. I have 2 in my big tank, and they RELLY controll the poop, so I would like to put one with the baby's. If they are too aggressive, than who can I put in there that does the same job??

P.S. NO PLECO PLEASE!!!! Just a personal thing......

err, i really wouldn't suggest putting one of these big babies into a fry tank, they would most probably eat every fry in the tank. larger catfish, like these, are mostly carnivorous. and another saying, whiskers mean predator.

Hello

Raphael's are very friendly. They are not aggressive, however they WILL eat your fry. They are night scavangers, so they will clear out the fry on the first night
They are a great addition to a community tank IMO

Also, just to add, a Raphael can't help clean up the poop They do eat uneaten food that falls onto the substrate that will decay and produce nitrates. I agree, don't add one in with your fry.
