Pictus and Corys?

[JoKeR]

I just bought 10 Corys for 10.00

Ok anyways my dad went with me t the store he said he was gonna check something out and to wait in the car. So I went to the car and I see my dad with this fish. At first im like whats that in the bag. It said Angelicus I checked on the internet doesnt match. It match more like a Perubian Pictus. So I just wanna know before I put my corys(diffrent tank) Can they live togethere?

The Pictus is 3 Inches

The cories range from 1-2 Inches

 

[JoKeR]

Oh yeah

Thats the only small fish that are in the tank. The others are more then 3 inches

Hey joker...
Pictus cats will eat anything under 3" once they get full grown. Also they should be kept in groups of no less than 3. When kept single they will become reclusive and hide untill lights out. I've got 5 of them and i just love them. Anymore questions feel free to ask!

 

[JoKeR]

So there gonna be ok right now?

And whe do they reach full grown

 

[Dwarfs]

I'm not to sure about being kept in threes, I have three who are never out and hide in three separate caves I would guess about around 6 months to a year in a decent sized tank would be enough time for a pictus to reach 6" One of mine has gone from 3" to 4.5" since july

 

[freddyk]

I've had Pictus do considerable damage much smaller then 6". IMO it's not a good idea.

 

[JoKeR]

I have a few Neons Tetras Would they be in danger?

 

[Dwarfs]

If the pictus is in the tank with them they are in danger

 

[JoKeR]

there not togethere There in a 10 gallon with the corys. I didnt want to put them togethere yet.

 

[Dwarfs]

You could probably put the pictus in your 55, when the cons grow up a bit, or when/if you sell them off

 

[JoKeR]

The pictus is in the 55

the others are in the tenner

The pictus so far is playing with himself in the glass.

So far he seems friendly but cant trust him.

 

[Dwarfs]

Sounds good, what are you feeding him with?

 

[JoKeR]

so far so good

He ate some Blakworms yesterday and a algea pellet liked the blackworms better

LOL Hes still playing with him self and now is starting to hith rides on my apple snail

 

[Dwarfs]

Sounds good, he's a carnivore so he naturally liked the worms better He sounds pretty lazy, riding on a snail
