so i picked two of these guys up at the lfs the other day and they were labeled as spotted pictus catfish,

this is exactly what they look like and i was curious as to what you guys have in regards tot hem ie growth rate, diet, what you keep them with, and tank size. pics are welcome. there currently in a 125 with a birchir 2 cory cats and 4 gts. would this tank be big enough for them for life?

this picture is not him but its exacly what they look like

good deal, im assuming if my GTs lay eggs the cats will go after them so i should remove them as rapidly as possible
 
how many cats you think i could put in there? i also have 2 cories and a senegal birchir in there as well, i like the idea of having a decent sized school of 5 or 6 of these guys swimming around cleaning up the bottom of my tank
 
heres the stock of the 125
4 Green Terrors
1 Senegal Birchir
2 Cory Cats
2 Spotted Pims

any other advise as to what other cats would be good in there for life but wont eat the other fish. i know the cories may get eaten but thats ok, im more worried about the green terrors and birchirs. i am also consideringing getting 1 more birchir. so again, what other species of cats would you recommend. id like something smaller, like under a foot.

pics would be appreciated
 
whats the max size on those?
 
They can get 10" but will most likely get 5"-7"..the 125G is perfect for life..
