I am debating between a Synodontis petricola and a Raphael catfish. I have a 50 gallon tank. Could u plz tell me which one would be better. And if crayfish can be used as a food.
 
Raphaels are boring. Pick synos. Crayfish are much more able to attack their predators than you think.;)
 
SAD TO SAY I REGRET GETTING RAPHAELS...THEY ARE EXTREMELY SHY,NOCTURNAL AND HARD TO HANDLE...SOME MAY DISAGREE WITH ME, BUT HEY, THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
 
i have a raphael that is the exception to the rule, as soon as there is food in the tank he is out of hiding and up in the water column getting his share, but as i said he is the exception to the rule, most raphaels are almost always hiding

you're one lucky guy man.
 
I was thinking of getting a Synodontis petricola. And bredding them but then i saw the gulper catfish. And i want one and i have to get both special ordered. And i want to be able to breed but there is no recoreds of gulper cats being breed. And i have a 50 gal tank which one would be better. T am also trying to base this on price and no one near me has any so i have to special order them. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! im so confused!!:confused::(
