pictus catfish

[charina2]

When we first got them some months ago, (two of them), they were always out and about canoodling with each other. Now they hide inside a log all the time. The water was about 70 degrees and they started hiding during that time. I raised the temp to about 75, but they are still hiding all the time. What's wrong?

Pictus cats are nocturnal and come out at night mostly....I wouldn't worry about them hiding during the day to much as its normal for them to be shy during daylight hours....How long have you had them for? ... I ask only because for the first few months i didnt see mine all that much...but as they become more suited towards the tank they become more active....I put a "night" light on my tank so that i could watch them "hunt" at night...Hope i helped!
