Pictus catfish will be fine in a 55, since they only grow to about 5 inches, and they prefer to be in small groups. Also, it would not be able to eat your cory catfish.

I wouldn't be too sure... It all depends on the size of the cory. I would just keep an eye on the two cats together.

My pictus eat my zebra loach and a sucking loach, The sucking loach was 2" long and the zebra loach was a touch smaller

yeah if a fish fits into its mouth theres a good chance you wont see that fish again
