Re: question about Pictus catfish's
Pimelodus pictus are usually spotted, he could be a type of mystus catfish. A better description though would really help, such as the length of the wiskers, fins, activity habbits etc.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers. |

Re: question about Pictus catfish's
There are 2 common types of Pictus cats...the Spotted pictus cat which is Pimelodus pictus and the 4-line Pictus cat which is Pimelodus blochii.
