I recently purchased a raphael cat, about 4", and added him to a 72 gallon tank to eliminate a snail infestation. There is also another cat in the tank, I forget what kind he is....lol (has spots). Will they cross breed at all? It's only been a couple weeks, but the raphael has a huge belly. Can only wonder if she is ready to lay eggs? Or has it just filled it's belly with snails and is getting fat?

Don't think they'll cross. My bet is on the snails.

I wouldn't think they would cross, but you never know. Is your catfish a Pictus?

Raphael cat are known for their big fat bellies, he just eating a lot of snails.

Hope this help.
