Default Catfish

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?

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

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.
