The 4-lined cats reach 10" SL (vs. about 5" for the pictus). Also, they are less gregarious.

Yes Silurus you are correct,based on those photos,but i've been told that they do better with bigger fish ie..Oscars,Dempseys etc...I'm sure that a near adult 4-line would devour any barbs or angel fish???Whats your opinion??? :D
