Another Catfish?

So I have a 25 gallon tank. In it I have
1 Pictus Catfish
2 White Mollies
3 Swordtails
1 Guppy
1 Blue Gourami
2 Platies


Would I be able to get another Catfish? If so, what kind?

I'd say you're pretty fully stocked as you are. I personally wouldn't add anything else.

The pictus will outgrow the 25,and should be kept in schools anyway.Re-home the pictus and get a school of cories.

pictus like to be in 3's or more to be happy ..I agree with franklin about getting some cories and exchanging the pictus..unless you can get a bigger tank and get more pictus...they are a hoot and a ton of fun to watch ..but in the 25 gal, theres no room for more

how big is your pictus anyway? I used to have one, he seemed to get on with my peppered corys, but then he died of no reason. If you want to get catfish i would recommend corydoras.

The pictus will eat till it bursts. Corydoras will do perfect with each other.
