Recommended Temperature (Β°F): Maintain the aquarium temperature for Pictus Catfish between 75-80Β°F (24-27Β°C), providing a warm and tropical environment.
Diet: Pictus Catfish are carnivorous and primarily eat meaty foods. They are scavengers and will eagerly consume sinking pellets, freeze-dried or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small insects. They will also scavenge for leftover food in the aquarium.
Temperament: Pictus Catfish are generally peaceful but can be active swimmers. They may become more active during the night. They are suitable for community aquariums with other peaceful fish species.

Behavior: Pictus Catfish are known for their striking appearance with their dark body covered in white spots and their long barbels (whisker-like structures) around their mouth. These barbels are sensitive to touch and help them locate food in dimly lit areas. They are active and agile swimmers, and their social nature is displayed when they school together.
Fun Fact: Pictus Catfish are known for their unique swimming behavior. They have an interesting habit of moving their dorsal and pectoral fins simultaneously, giving them a distinctive gliding motion through the water. This unique swimming style, combined with their attractive appearance, makes them a popular choice among aquarists who want to add an eye-catching and active species to their community aquarium.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
