Active and fast-swimming, especially during the evening hours, the Pictus brings constant motion and interest to larger aquariums. While peaceful, it may eat very small tank mates, so it's best housed with similarly sized or larger peaceful species. It appreciates plenty of open swimming space and hiding spots like driftwood and caves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"624\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"971\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"677\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"677\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"648\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger community aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"715\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"715\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"702\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"750\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"750\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"740\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22–26°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"776\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"776\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"766\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"865\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"865\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"807\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly or in small groups (if space allows)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"944\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"944\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful but predatory toward very small fish or shrimp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"971\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"971\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"960\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–16 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
