Many pimelodid catfish are solitary by nature. They are predatory and grow to a large size, demanding an extensive area in which to hunt. However, a number of smaller species, including the Pictus Catfish (Pimelodus pictus) shown here, will associate in groups and can be kept together more easily in the home aquarium.
