Hello on my next trip to my lfs I am picking up some Pictus cats and I was wondering if a group of 3 would be ok?

Whats the size of your tank, and are any other fish in there?
But in general I don´t see a problem with a group of 3 specimens.

I have a 55 gallon 48x12x20 and I have 8 other catfish

I would not add Pimelodus pictus at all to this tank, it is too small in my opinion. They are good and persistent swimmers.

Catfish? What kind of catfish?

Go see my fish list!

Hey, Bigamefish... who's the one who asks for help ?

EDIT :
that was an ironic question indeed... sorry...

Lol is that a trick question?

Hi,

well, your tank is even now overstocked.
And I am sorry that I didn´t investigate more time to help from the beginning....

They are all babies and it's a grow out tank I have 2 180 gal tanks on stand by

P. pictus are a shoaling species. They are cheap too and, IMHO, awfully cute. Any size group would be fine, from my experience.
