That's good because my coryadora catfish is slowly dying.

It's good to know all those catfish I clubbed on the head (then nailed their heads to a tree and pulled down their skin) never felt a thing.

I'll sleep better tonight knowing that......like I really cared. LOL

My catfish isn't for eating; it's a pet. You'd starve if you tried to eat it. It's about 3/4 of an inch long.

Shhh You don't want BRG3 to hear this. It's his fish too. In fact he bought her; I take care of her.

i have two yoyo loches that ate my coryadora catfish when it got itself stuck in the edge of the under gravle filter. he was still breathing but they had eaten his back completly off.

ok i'm no scientist and i'm not gona ague with thier research but if fish really don't feel any pain why do lamphray(sp) eles have an anistetic in its saliva that keeps the fish from feeling it is attached to it.

Yea mine is missing its top fin thanks to a mean goldfish in its tank.

yeah you have to watch out for those gold fish, regular great white sharks if they sence a fish is sick.

Well this goldfish outlived 4 others, and they were rescued from the tank of a phirahna that terrorized them. When I got them, they were missing their fins completely. They always went after the fins of other fish including each others'.
