Perhaps more so at night, as Rob had said. In my hands these were pretty inactive, in fact when adults, they were like a catfish-looking log, day or night as far as I could observe. I never understood if it was my care or their nature. Totally passive. So much that I don't want another one.

Anyone else with extended experience out there???

I am not saying at all mine is an average, to-be-expected experience. Every tank differs and yours might be a different experience.

This catfish is from the Heptapteridae family, not that Pimelodidae are synonymous with activity. Pangasiidae I'd say are.
