Spoted Pimcat & Pictus Cat sizes
« on: October 25, 2004, 11:52:52 AM »
I have a 6 in.  Pictus cat and have heard they get anywhere from 8 to 12 in.  I was wondering if Spotted Pims can also get this big or what's the biggest anyone ha seen of either of these 2 fish?  Thanks in advance! :)

I had a pictus cat that was roughly 8", I had him about 2 years and he never got bigger then that so I am assuming thats about as big as they get.  Not sure on the other species.

Thanks Adam.  I guess, not alot of people have seen big ones in these 2 species.  I have a big Pictus and have seen others, but have never seen a really decent size Spotted Pim, and I was just curious.  Thanks! :D:

Just to update this,  I am still searching for a larger Spotted Pim to go along with my large Pictus Cat, but to no avail so far. 

I have seen plenty of Large Pictus Cat about 7 or 8 inches.  that the LFS sells,  but never any large Spotted Pims.   I'm beginning to wonder if they ever get that big. I refuse to give up though, LOL ><:
