L. Pictus vs L Longibarbus/ Marmoratus

[Saku]

Hi,

Could someone outline the differences b/w these two cats? I'm considering putting one in my 300gal.

Also any experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks

Anybody?

This is MFK! Somebody here must have some info/experience.

Ok,

So here is what I "know".

L pictus grows larger and has a larger dorsal fin. Both have rtc personality in that they will snack on tankmates.

the pictus gets about 24" and has a larger dorsal fin then the longibarbis. the longibarbis get a bit larger around 32" about the same in color and patterns. i just picked up a longibarbis last weekend. it was labeled sailfin cat, but the pictus is the true sailfin. The p. Perruno is similar also.
