Pimelodus Pictus

[digital_run]

Hi there ....

I'm planning on making my newly acquired 70 gal. as a predator tank....Now i want to get 4-6 peacock eels and add my 5 Pictus from my 65. I might even get 2-3 more pictus ....would they be ok as tank mates?...I know they spend 99% of the time on the bottom....so terriotry might be an issue..Any help would be great

4-6 eels might be a bit much for a 75, id advise no more than 3 as although peacock spiney eels are one of the few spiney's that like the company of thei own kind they also like to have their own little bit of personal space. They will make good tankmates for the pictus and a few more pictus cats wouldnt hurt.
