These are peaceful fish that get more aggressive with age and would work well in a community tank with medium sized fish. Pictus cats eat off the bottom and enjoy earthworms as a treat. These are scaleless fish and thus are very sensitive to disease. Make sure when treating them with medication you use a scaleless fish friendly medication.
