Has anyone kept both these fish in the same tank?  I plan on 4 to 6 pictus catfish in my 75 gallon and would like to also have a either a long fin albino pleco or a bristle nose albino pleco. Whichever one of those I can find at the pet store. 
 
I am a long way away from fish, I don't even have water in it yet LOL   But I am thinking....
 
Just did some research, it looks like it is okay.   I just wanted them to get along. 
 
I also read on another forum that I found a link to while researching, and a poster there told this woman that she could not keep anything with a pictus catfish. That the pictus is a predator and will eat anything she puts in with it.
 
Okay, now I know that little fish that sit on the bottom or towards it at night are subject to being a snack, but years ago, I had a tank with a pictus catfish in it.  I had all kinds of fish in there, the pictus was the  biggest one, and that catfish never ate any of my fish. Maybe I just had a really docile pictus, I don't know.   Now, on that note, I don't plan on having smaller fish in the 75 gallon that would even tempt the pictus catfish that I want to get, just want to throw that out there LOL
