Compare Pictus and Albofasciatus Catfish. Choose the named Pimelodus for its adult needs and the other fish already using the bottom of your aquarium.
Pimelodus pictus and Pimelodus albofasciatus need their own housing checks. Provide usable swimming room and retreats, then assess smaller companions as potential prey. A similar catfish shape or a small supplied size does not make the two species interchangeable.
