Want some pictus catfish

[Ajno]

I was wandering around Petsmart today looking at the fish. I saw the pictus catfish and they are VERY active. I'd like to buy some but I have tetras and I'm thinking they will eat them along with the shrimp I'm buying for my tank. Should I wait until I set up my 75 gallon tank? Thanks

I'd wait.

To be on the safe side, I'd definatly wait till you get the 75 gallon. I have a pictus cat about 6" and hes pretty active and they do have large mouths.

I'd wait. Catfish with long barbels tend to be predatory.
