I have three bristlenose catfish, one old male that has been alone all his life, and two young females. when I moved the females in, I moved in three other catfish, a bit bigger than fry. The large male killed the three young ones, and later I had to move one of the females because of the male. I recently moved the other one too, and the loner female didn't like it much. now they live happily together though. I think they bristlenose become more hostile the longer they live by themselves, but it depends on what sort of catfish you have

Yes if the other fish can fit into its mouth! My catfish recently ate the 5" cichlid in the 90G tank. The cichlid was a little bit larger than the catfish when I first bought it (about 4") about 1.5 year ago, now the catfish is 9".
Are catfish whiskers poison?
I do not know of any catfish species that have poisonous whiskers. The whiskers are for feeling and tasting stuff on the bottom of the lake, pond or ocean. However, most catfish do have spines on dorsal (top) and side fins. It is possible to hold a catfish without getting stabbed by one of these sharp fins. If a catfish does happen to fin you and break skin, make sure you wash the wound thoroughly, especially if the catfish was a freshwater variety. If it is a saltwater catfish and you get finned by one, though it may hurt, wash your wound with ocean water. If the wound from a fin is deep, go to the ER and have them take a look to make sure the catfish did not injure any important parts of your body.
