It all depends on how big your tank is. Tell us how big your tank is. I would suggest and get a fourline cat if you do get more. Because if you add some more pictus they will fight till some die. So I suggest you add a fourline and a ornate. Oh yeah what are the pictus living with??

Be sure you have some caves in your aquarium for them to hide in - at least 2 so they can each have their own!! Of course mine just fight over the 1 big one, even thought there are 2 others!! It took my 2 quite awhile to come out when I first got them and even now, I only see them at feeding time or lights out. But, once the lights go out, they are swimming all over the place!!
You should also look in too getting a few more yoyo's as they like to be in groups!!

Hi Dan,
The advice I got when I was looking at a south american set up was that if I wanted to have some pictus, then I should get a group of 5 or 6 as they are a sociable fish that live in shoals in the wild. I was also told that I shouldn't put them with timid fish either as feeding time tends to be a frenzy and they also have a mad half hour everyday.
Cheers
Gordon
