The pictus catfish is an extremely popular freshwater fish among aquarists and has been so for quite a while. This is primarily due to the ease of care and the distinct “catfish” look it brings to your tank. The average pictus catfish size is roughly 12cm in length. It’s very uncommon for these fish to exceed this size when fully grown, but it is possible. They’re cute, easy to care for, not aggressive. The bodies of the pictus catfish is a shiny light silver that extends evenly all over their body. Their belly is a bit lighter but not by much. These fish also don’t have any scales.
