I was wondering if I could keep 1 Pictus Catfish in my newly setup 10 gallon tank. I don't know much about them,but I thought it would be cool to have one in my 10 gallon. Any ideas?

There's a lot of different species of pictus cats and most generally get around 6", but that's still too big for a 10 gallon. You can keep a single one in a 20, but they tend to do better in groups which would require closer to 40+ gallons.
