Pimelodus pictus

Post by SynoPetri »

Hi!

I'm new in the forum about South American Catfish. I want to know some things about Pimelodus pictus.

Are they easy to keep?
How big will they become?
What is the difference between male and female?
How many of them should be held?
Are they easy to spawn?
How big should the tank be?
How should it be planted?
And, what about the "furinture"? I mean rocks or so?

I know that this is a lot for the moment but I would be very happy if somebody could give me the answers.

This species has been featured as a CoTM. You'll find most of your answers there.
They are most comfortable in small groups of 4-6.
