I'll stop making "List your -------!" threads after this, but lets see what sorts of predatory catfishes other members here have. Again, I'll start things off :D :
Right now I've only got a small jurenese and two RTC... in the past I've kept loads of South American cats, mainly Pimelodids... but a few odd cat families here and there such as candiru, eel cats, synos, and African "poison slime" cats. :)

I had a nice 5" spotted pictus, it was 2 yrs old. I fried him just this past Sunday due to personal negligence :(


Then I attempted to cut him up but... man, once I opened his guts up, a nasty fishy reek started to pervade the room. I got a good look at his mouth though; seems them pimelodids have a distinctly-shaped scrubby pad thing (like really fine sandpaper) on each jaw and that's it; no real teeth.

i stuck some driftwood in my 150 that i had found . It looked freeaking awsom let me tell ya. But it landed up leachin out some chemicals in the watter and the channel sufferd the worse. I thought the channel was gonna survive and my tsn red tail hybrid was gonna die. I was wrong it was opposit way around. Guess i should have spent as much time nurseing the channel back like i did the red tail tsn hybrid huh. But i was more attached to the hybrid so i worried more about him. And it looked like the channel was makeing a good recovery. The channel died next day.
