I recently had my Raphael Catfish in my 55 gallon with some baby Platy & a baby Angelfish when some of the babies came up missing. First was the baby Angel, then four of the baby Platy were missing one day. After asking about the Raphael hunting baby Platy at Aquarium Paradise and hearing that they can even hunt full grown Platy, I removed him immediately!!!!
Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? I thought they were scavengers...like food off the bottom of the tank...not live food swimming around vigorously! These baby Platy were very vigorous when netted, and I just can't imagine them being caught by surprise in a tank that size.
Any answers will help tremendously.
