Minimum Tank Requirements:
Tank Size: 100 litres or more
Temperature: 24-28°C
pH: 6.5-7.5
Tankmates: Pictus Catfish are peaceful but should be kept with other fast-moving, non-aggressive species. Avoid slow-moving or small fish.
Diet: Carnivorous. Feed them high-quality sinking pellets, live or frozen foods like bloodworms, and occasional fish or shrimp.
Care Tips: Pictus Catfish are active swimmers and need plenty of space. They require a well-filtered tank to keep up with their waste production.
