Really really fat synodontis

[Andri Pogo]

Just got two synodontis yeasterday, they had been together in a small 20G tank for some time...

They are the same age, but one is much bigger than the other one. The small one has a huge belly however.

Is it normal, is he just a big eater ? Kinda funny seeing them together, its like the smaller one is pregnant

I have other cats that get such big bellies but thats just temporary and goes away after the cat has digested... This belly doesnt seem to be going.

could just be a big eater give it a day or two and see if its still there it may have eaten some gravel or sand

nice looking tank by the way

The smaller one has a slower metabolism.
