Pictus Catfish

[Davidiator]

Are pictus catfish safe to keep with BGKs and clown Loaches and Congo Tetras?

 

[kno4te]

Yes.

 

[Davidiator]

Awesome thanks

I think I'd agree.

 

[Deadliestviper7]

Yeah they aren't real agresive

 

[Davidiator]

how about with neons?

My understanding is if it can fit in their mouth it could become food. I'm guessing neons may become food.

Hi everyone. I had one pictus that was given to me and someone e said to add another so I did now I can tell if it was a good idea. They seem to “play” very rough. Any thoughts?

Do fine in groups with little bit of squabbling. Should be fine with the two.

Depends on the tank setup and individual personalities. It could range from a harmony to constant war but usually they will fight sporadically or daily and if one is bigger, it could eventually kill the smaller one.

They do well if both can get away from each other and set up their own territories or in a very large group of say 6-12+.
