No change to report in the 3 pictus - same dynamics of one larger 2.5ft female and two smaller 2ft males, occasional seasonal fights, sometimes involve the two larger female marmoratus too, but overall not bad. I do wish to diminish the fighting and the ensuing minor damage especially on their luxurious barbels but need to make more large tanks toward that.

Unexpectedly, the female pictus takes an earnest interest in fly larvae:
