Hi,
had one or two L.Pictus in my time,for me they are very special fish,arguably the most stunning tank busting catfish on the planet to a size of 12inch(3ocm),sadly the pattern darkens with age,the white saddle that used to stand out so beautifully blends in to the background.The good news is your still left with a stunning catfish with a character every bit as good as any Redtail cat your likely to come across,plus size wise they generally top out at 30 inches long,more managable than a Redtail but you still need a small lake to keep it in.
