I have a 29 gallon tank that I would like to redo and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get some Pictus cats? I would also like to get some other catfish but I do not know what I would like to get yet. Maybe someone could give me some ideas. I would probably like to get two or three Pictus cats though.

I would go with a pair as opposed to 3. just to make sure they have a little more room

although most sites recommend 30 gallons for pictus cats they can get up to 6 inches or more and a full grown pair would definetly be more comfortable in at least a 55 gal tank or so IMO.

30g would be just enough for one pitus IMO. As said a 55g or larger if you want more than one.Make sure to provide lots of hiding places no matter what size tank.
