Leiarius pictus tankmates?

[wonword]

I have read somewhere that Leiarius pictus cats will kill other pim species catfish it is housed with. Has anybody witnessed this? I would like to add a tig or jur to my tank.
Thanks!

interesting. I have a Leiarius longibarbis which some may confuse for yours. He's over 26", and is housed with 2 4" pictus catfish, which we call his children.

I've often wondered over the same question as I have a tsn x rtc and an achara x tsn that I'm growing big in another tank. I've wondered how they will all get along too....

here's a bump for ya

Thanks. Yeah, my pictus is in with fish it could def eat. A 3-4" dat, bushynose plecos, and some peacock eels that he could gulp up as worms, so he isnt really aggressive towards other fish, and I dont really want that to change if adding another pim will.

Just added a Chrysuchthys ornatus to the mix, even though the pictus could eat it, no problems so far. Also got some 4" Brochis multiradiatus.

tank size? it makes a difference-also fish size-when they both get 2ft there will probably be problems.
