 | tank size for pictus |
hembo666  Big Fish Posts: 350 Kudos: 288 Votes: 3 Registered: 01-Apr-2005   | would a pictus cat be ok in a 24" 15g tank? it would be the only bottom dweller. and if the tank is big enough would a pictus be safe with mollys and plattys? |

Pictus catfish grow to about eleven cm, and do like their swimming space. I'd go with a tank of at least seventy-five cm in length for these fish, especially if you want more than one. |
