Depending on how big each of them are. Remember, if the RES is big enough, it could rip up the Catfish and eat them. If it's too small, the Catfish could eat it. It wil be ok if it can't even catch the fish.

That cats are about 3 inches, a the sliders are 2 inches. The catfish are way to fast to be caught.

About the cats outcompeting the turtles for food. They can be really aggressive feeders!.

P.S. if your catfish are the ones I found in the link below, you're going to have some work ahead of you keeping them as adults
