2.5 – 3″ Pictus Catfish / Pimelodus pictus

The Pictus Catfish can be housed with any soft water tank mate. Tanks with the dim lights that are heavily planted are ideal for this fish. Rocks, caves, and driftwood also aid in providing an optimal environment for the Pictus Catfish.

The Pictus Catfish will feed on leftover flake food that accumulates at the bottom of the tank. In addition, small live food and sinking catfish pellet food should be provided for complete nutrition.
