Will pictus catfish school with other catfish?

did i say that was my main concern??? Nope dont think i did :/
 
i dont?? what would i need for 2 at least? I have a 30 long with the oranda in it (yes i know its coldwater, pictus is not)
 
I have 1 pictus in a 55 gal. Wiskers is the only one that I've got, he's got his own personal cave and seems happy and healthy and very active. He peacefully co-exists with the corys, but is buddies with an upside-down catfish.

He is a large, about 4 inches, and grew very fast.

Good luck with yours
 
I've kept pictus alone and in groups and in my own experience, they seemed much happier in a tank with conspecifics. They are fairly active and get up to 5-6", I would say a 55-75 minimum for a group of 3-4 fish..they really seem to appreciate the room to roam.
 
what caves do they like best? Ill just leave her alone for now till i can upgrade. Shes about a year old now...how much growing does she have to do?
 
she's about 3 or 4 inches. it s a 30 long so she has a good amount of room to roam very quickly as she does lol
 
I have a lot of driftwood cover in my tank, but no real "caves" to speak of. Mine don't seem to hide out much, they spend most of their time in the open.
