Synodontis

[JHG]

I recently brought back some Syndo cats from Ontario that were sold as African Lace Catfish. By observation it appears I have a mixture of Synodontis nigrita and Synodontis nigriventris, as per www.planetcatfish.com. I'm more familiar with the catfish of South America then Africa so I could easily be corrected. Anyone else keeping these species? What other Syndo cats do people here keep?

PS: I'll try and take a few photos and post them by the weekend.

I've got a group of 11 S. petricola's. From what I've been told I have an adult pair of 'true' petricola's, and the rest are all the petricola 'dwarf'. They're breeding now, so I couldn't be happier with them! Also have a group of 6 young multi's that I love as well.

For syno's I currently have:

Group of petricola(dwarf)

group of multi's

four ocellifer

Four shoutedeni

five angelicus

group of nigriventris

group of Microsynodontis sp.nigeria

Last two are current breeding projects, may never happen but definately a challenge.

Angelicus are not quite big enough to wreak havoc, yet.

Ocellifer love to dig and surprisingly keep the angelicus in check,so far.

Tangies are most active during the day.

I have a group of 7 Syno petricola in my 90g malawi tank. I love them. They are so cute and are always out and about(way more then i thought they would be).
