Catfish

[Aaron4321]

I have noticed that a lot of Catfish that are nocturnal. (Might be a silly questions but here we go) Are there any that are not nocturnal or will swim around when the lights are on?

Yes. Quite a few.

Know where i could find out which? or should i just keep looking.

Glass catfish, dubawi catfish, lots of nocturnal ones also come out in the day as well

[Aaron4321]

Dont really like them, any like the Pictus?

Iv'e got asian shark catfish which are very active day and night but need decent size tank as they get big and are skittish.

I might get a Pictus again as that swam during they day.

Do you mean pangasius sutchii?. they grow to 1 meter. My brother had one that was 18" and it used to go full belt into the end of the tank and bust its nose

Thats a sad thing to read.

I never liked pictus either, What about hoplos,(hoplosturnum thoracatum) they swim about in the day a lot, quite active, always come out for food and are very pretty and quite hardy, also corydoras, brochis, aspidoras, dianema, They like to be in a shoakl though.
