    I was wanting to get another pictus catfish, i had 1 for 2 yrs until the heater went out & he died :( My fiance just got a jack for the 29g hes 2 to 3 in now, i was wondering if i can put a pictus with him or no? When the jack gets a little bigger hes going in the 55g.

    It's pretty much hit/miss with pictus and jacks....it moreso depends on YOUR jacks temperment as it grows. I've seen people house them together with no issue, and others that say their jack injures their pictus (moreso related to aggression over the food).
