My Whiptail is about the same size. and as far as I've seen there has been
no damage to my plants from him. I see him going after the green spot algae
on my glass.

Hi.

Can Whiptail catfish be verified to be plant tank safe? I've had one in
my
plant tank for at least 8 months. He (I call him he.) has gotten quite
large...probably like 5 inches. I am starting to wonder if he is putting
some of the holes in my Sword leaves and munching on the new tender leaves
that are coming up from the middle of the plant.

Does anyone have experience with this catfish in a planted tank?

thanks.
