keeping kribensises with sun catfish

I've got a 30-gallon setup with danios and a sun catfish, and I'm thinking of adding some Kribensises. Would that be alright?

Hi azurjon, I've got danios and kribs together in my tank and they seem to get along just fine. However, I do have some concerns about your sun catfish. Kribs can be quite territorial and may become aggressive towards bottom dwellers that enter their space. Given the size of sun cats and the limited space in your 30-gallon tank, it might be wise to consider alternative fish that would be more compatible with your setup.

I've had the misfortune of seeing my sun cat outgrow everything in my tank at an alarming rate, and it's not pretty. Speaking from personal experience, I've witnessed it devour its tankmates with ease. One particularly disturbing incident that comes to mind is when my 6 1/2" sun cat managed to consume a 5" silver shark, literally ramming it headfirst into the side of the tank to force it down its throat.
