Pictus Catfish Tankmates

username · August 4th, 2007

Could a pictus catfish co-exist with small fish such as hatchet fish?

Depends on the size of the pictus.

A full grown pictus will gobble up full grown hatchfish and go looking for more.

I would go more with fish that get to similar size.

I not sure of the size of hatchetfish. But my catfish is only around 4 inches and tried to eat a 1/2 inch platy, was unsuccessful but she died. A pictus will eat whatever it thinks will fit in it mouth.
