wat!?! sorry bout ur goldfish


o forgot my guy has huge teeth.......

yours looks like the sailfin plec which can grow to 18 inches+ depending on tank size.
As koko said they will take down a fish as these need meat in the diet once mature. They are fast swimmers and can easily grab hold of a larger fish and they have huge suction power and will literally rasp the goldfish clean of its slime coat first and then the meat.
Dont put it with goldfish.
