coral cats

do you think i will be ok with these guys, for a while, until they get a little bigger?

 

Are you sure not freshwater catfish, because I see them in freshwater all the time.

Oh boy, they are ugly too. I much rather kiss a wet carp in the lips.

 

no, they're salt water. i'm happy to say, i caught the little buggers!!! with a net! going to see if i can use the $80.00 i spent on some more live rock.
thanks for all the help, fellas

 

OH my goodness, wow what makes them so expensive. Why do they call them cat fish? Do they meow, purr or am I missing something here.

Because the freshwater ones look just like those.

 

proud to announce my lfs took back the pesky coral cats, without a problem. in thier place i adopted 3 fire gobies(read they should be kept in a mated pair, or singly,but in my 210gal, they should have enough space), and 2 more(3 altogether) royal gramma. one of the gramma even took to the smaller one already in the tank!
just want to thank all you guys for all your advice.i feel so much better, as a newbie, knowing you all have my back. thanks again.

 

very glad it worked out for you
