http://forum.aqua-fish.net/ A forum devoted to aquarium fish, plants, techniques and fish keeping as a whole. en http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=tank-for-pictus-catfish#1 I’m interested into getting at least two pictus with maybe some middle of the tank catfish. Would a 36 gallon tank be big enough? What other fish would make good companions to the pictus? Thank you.

Tankmates: Some peaceful cichlids; Angelfish would be very good tankmate . Matt anonymous 2008-05-02 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=tank-for-pictus-catfish#3 Hi Randy, I Wouldn't get what are considerd peaceful cichlids. I have electric yellow labido cichlids, which are the most peacful cichlids there are, and they are aggresive. I have 2 pictus cats in a 55 gallon and they get along great with the 2 bala sharks, silver dollors and common pleco. PS: Bala sharks tend to nip each others fins, but nothing to worry about.
