I'm not sure, but, I had 2 gold fish die recently for no apparent reason. Am wondering if the upside down cat fish hurt them in any way. He always chases them around & they act frightened by the cat fish.

Well that all comes down to what kind of catfish u have peppered corydoras will only eat another one of your fish if it died and sank to the bottom so just research your fish first and then buy the less aggressive fish. in my tank i have 2 species of catfish, 2 upside down catfish and 2 peppered corys and they havnt attacked any of my fish. Oh and if u get upside down catfish dont get the bigger version it's very aggressive. hope that helps

You only have one catfish and a few goldfish and the catfish had eggs how?
Catfish eggs are fertilized by the male after being They must be goldfish eggs. It is nearly impossible to have catfish breed on their own in a tank or pond. Any fish female can have eggs, the eggs are fertilized after the female lays the eggs. So if the eggs hatch then most likely they be goldfish.
You have 2 plecos and a catfish Can they live with 3 large goldfish that are about the same size of the plecos and catfish in a 50 gallon tank?
No. Goldfish are cold-water fish, plecos (which are catfish) and your other catfish are warm-water fish. You run a heater in a pleco/catfish tank, but no heater in a goldfish tank. Plecos are also territorial toward conspecifics, meaning two plecos in one tank will fight and possiibly kill each other. The other problem? A 50-gallon tank is only large enough for one pleco, even if they weren't territorial. I would return one pleco, either the catfish--what is it, a bagrid?--or the other pleco, and the goldfish. If you want to build a community around one of these big cats, try some medium-sized tough cichlids like Jack Dempseys or firemouths. I kept three Dempseys and a pleco in a 55-gallon aquarium for years, and they were great together.1st: Plecos are catfish.2nd: Goldfish can't live with any other fish besides other goldfish. 3rd: What kind of Catfish is it? 4th: 1 pleco per tank only!

Will catfish eat goldfish flakes?
It depends what kind of Catfish it is. You can put a little in the tank and if the Catfish doesn't eat it than net it out. They will eat frozen foods like Bloodworms usually as long as you thaw them out before feeding it to them.
Can catfish and goldfish live together?

Why is my Cory catfish swimming up and down my fish tank?
As long as the tank water is clean, and the fish are being fed properly, the catfish may just be entertaining itself by swimming that way.
Why is your Calico Ryukin Goldfish upside down but it s not dead?
Your Goldfish probably has a problem with its swim bladder. It's may be what the goldfish is being fed that is causing the problem. There is not normally enough fibre in the food we feed our Goldfish. This can lead to constipation and pressure on the swimbladder, which is the organ that keeps the fish buoyant and upright. The fish floats upside down because of the pressure on the swim bladder. Frozen peas are the answer. Defrost them. Take off the outer skin and then crush the peas. Feed them to the goldfish. It may also help the goldfish to put it into a container with shallow water in it - use water from the fish tank. Feed it the peas. Hopefully you will see an improvement in a very short space of time.
