my sens is thin!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Synodontis Nigriventris (upside down cat) stays small, and prefer to be kept in groups of about 3, but also stay small. 4 Inches max, would be perfect for a bichir.

Different bichir, different growth rates.

As long as it is eating, you shouldn't worry.
