It depends on the catfish. if it is a small catfish ( 1-5 inches) sometimes the angelfish will try to eat it. if it is a medium sized catfish (6-9inches) you will be fine. BUT if you get a large catfish (10 inches and over) it will terrorize your angelfish by nipping at the angelfishes fins and if big enough will eat it. some of the catfish you can mix is a Cory catfish, Redtail catfish, upside down catfish and rubber lip catfish but that is all. Another thing is you should get the fish when they are young because angelfish are territorial.
one last thing is that to mix the two fish you should get a tank 25 gallons or over or they will be too crammed and die even though 25 gallons is pretty large angelfish can grow up to 10 inches and all of the catfish that can mix can grow up to 7 inches

∙ 11y agoWell so far my 11" koi and my 3" koi are doing great with my two 4 1/2" upside down catfish...
I also had yellow zebra that did well but unfortunately ran into bad luck when they where swallowed whole by the catfish, I say swallowed because no trace of all four were ever found.
Any questions email me at : razorgraphix@gmail.com

∙ 11y agoIt depends on the species of catfish.
Koi are cold-water fish, and most catfish prefer temperate to tropical temperature.
North American catfish species would be a decent choice to keep with koi, however the aquarium would need to be extremely large due to the potential size of the catfish, and some catfish.

Almost no fish can live without a pump. Unless you don't care if it live do four hours. A catfish can live in a 5 gallon tank for maybe a month. Then you would have to buy a bigger tank. The smallest catfish grows to about 5-6 inches. A good thumb rule: 1 inch of fish per gallon. I hope this helped! :):)
