Pictus Cat Size?
- Thread starter threejjj
- Start date
From what i have read i think it depends on if it is a peruvian or colombian pictus catfish. Peruvian get to about 6 inches and colombian get to about 10 inches. I am not sure where i got the info from, but i will do some google searches and see if i can come up with the website.
EDIT:
Have found a little info but not exactly what im looking for. Make sure that the kind of pictus catfish you are talking about is the Pimelodus pictus as they are the smaller pictus catfish and only get to about 6 inches, but frequently get 4-5 inches
EDIT: check out this http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pimelodi/pimelodu/276_F.PHP
it has a few small notes on the difference between peruvian and colombian also noting that the colombian is the bigger species of the two.

Whatever you do make sure that the fish is a Pimelodus pictus as they are the ones that get to 6 inches.
