It might work with smaller Banjos, but as the Banjos grow it could be come a problem. Banjos are big-mouthed catfish and Khulis are worm-like enough that it is kind of iffy. I haven't tried this combination, but IMO there would be a risk, especially if the Banjo is larger. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

And just so I am not being hypocritical(sp?); I have kuhlis and banjos together with the kuhlis being 3 to 4 inch while the banjos are about 4''. As far as i'm aware there has been no harm done, as its kind of hard to count kuhlis -------------------------- Billy was a scientist, Billy is no more. For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4
