Pictus Catfish are
really
wonderful
aquarium
fish.
Some
other
sources
say
they
are
touchy
and
not
hardy,
but
that's
not
true.
They
are
very
hardy
and
energetic.
Very
highly
recommended.

Comments
Pictus
Catfish
come
in
two
different
patterns.
One
type
is
from
Peru
and
another
from
Columbia.
They
may
in
fact
be
different
species.
Both
are
wonderful
aquariums
fish.
They're
very
active
swimmers
that
constantly
scour
the
aquarium
for
anything
edible.
They
will
try
eating
anything
and
actually
eat
almost
any
kind
of
food
that
will
fit
in
their
mouths,
including
small
fish.
I
watched
in
horror
one
day,
when
a
new
Pictus
sucked
up
and
ate
three
of
my
small
Paleatus
Cory
Catfish!
But
Pictus
and
other
catfish really not a substitute for cleaning your aquarium and
regularly
doing
partial
water
changes.

Pictus Catfish
seem
to
enjoy schooling together.
But
one
Pictus
will
also
do
very
well
in
an
aquarium
without
other
Pictus,
and
since
they
eat
a
lot
of
food
and
produce
a
lot
of
waste,
they
do
better
in a
larger
aquarium
with
a
big
filter. |

Recommended Diet
Pictus
eat
just
about
anything.

Premium
Flakes.

Always
be sure
that
all
of your fish eat all

Compatibility
Pictus Catfish enjoy being together,
and
it's
great
fun
to
watch
several
school
around
the
aquarium
together.
But
Pictus
will
grow
to
be
5"
long
and
are
heavy
eaters,
so
it
will
take
a
big
aquarium
with
very
good
filtration
to
keep
a
group.
We
like
to
keep
just
one
of
them.
You
should
also
realize
that
Pictus
will
eat
just
about
anything
that
fits
in
their
growing
mouths,
and
that
includes
other
fish.
So a
Pictus
is
not
compatible
with
small
fish
that
will
fit
into
its
mouth!
On
the
other
hand
Pictus
are
spinney
and
will
usually
do
well
with
large
predaceous
fish
and
aggressive
fish
like
Cichlids.
We
often
keep
our
Pictus
in
large
aquariums
with
Neotropical
Cichlids,
Large
Silver
Dollars,
and
other
larger
fish
that
won't
fit
in a
Pictus
mouth.
The
spines
on
Pictus
can
easily
get
caught
in
nets,
so
it's
best
to
avoid
using
a
net
and
try
scooping
Pictus
with
a
ridged
container.

Size and Lifespan
Pictus Catfish
have a lifespan
of
several
years
and
perhaps
even
longer
when
given
excellent
care.
Here
in
our
aquariums
we
have
had
them
grow
to
be
about
5.25"
long
in
body
length,
and
that
measurement
would
have
been
much
longer,
if
we'd
included
their
whiskers,
which
are
amazing!

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
