charlie my pictus cat is getting moved to the bigger tank today! he is still small, im hopin he will grow in the bigger tank
 
I've got two pictus cat's and I love them both. I picked them up at about 2" and in a couple months they've both grown to ~5" and their appetites are continually increasing. I think they should level off pretty soon but I've had quite a few people tell me here recently they can grow to 10" but I've never seen one that big.
 
i picked this guy up at 3'' probably and now hes maybe 4 and i have had him for like a year lol. i feed him a ton and he doesnt grow! i would love to see a 10'' pictus! ive never seen anything close to that! you should see when my oscars try to go in his cave! he runs them out its hilarious
 
I just moved mine to a new tank with a pretty nice piece of root looking fake driftwood in it. In the other tank my two pictus would pal around with my loach and free swim. Well since I moved them to the new tank the two pictus have taken full territory over the wood and won't let any of my other fish near it except for one of my loaches ocassionaly.
 
You really should get another one or two if you have the room. They love to shoal around with each other.
 
ill look into that i just have a big raphael that doesnt let my pictus on his side of the tank lol. so i dont know what he would do with 2 fellow bottom dwellers.
