{"product_id":"pictus-cats","title":"Pictus cats","description":"\u003cp\u003ePictus catfish are native to the Amazon and Orinoco River basins in South America. Growing up to 15cm in length, Pictus catfish are a great choice for those looking for an active bottom dweller with character. Pictus catfish are renowned for exceptionally long barbels and stunning silver bodies peppered with dark spots. Special requirements: Can be kept individually but are social and can thrive in groups of three to six. Are extremely active and require a larger tank with plenty of space for moving. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo mimic their natural environment, consider using dim lighting and lots of shady spots which could be created by driftwood or rock; tis will encourage them to come out during the day as they are generally nocturnal. To protect their delicate barbels, consider using a fine substrate. Take extra care when handling Pictus catfish – they have sharp, rigid spines which can pierce nets, fish bags and skin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Pictus catfish \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-artemia\"\u003eEBO Pro soft artemia\u003c\/a\u003e, insect, \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-mussel-125g\"\u003emussel\u003c\/a\u003e and spirulina.
