He is 12"-13",he has been nipping all his tankmates including my Jardini,RTC/TSN,AND 2 Pacu's.He seems to leave my Bala shark alone,all the fish are closely the same size.

Like all synos they can be quite nippy. Keep a close eye because he could nip the poor fishes fins off. Had to lean that the had way with my Lepronius(there supposed to be nippers) LOL! If he dose'nt stop nipping I'd get rid of him.
You are only the second person i have met on MFK in all these years that has a Synodontis Frontosus...........they are quite rare... and here is pic of mine... rather then call them aggressive although it really ends up becoming the same thing..mine loves the other fish to death... he will not leave them alone.... swims with them and touches them etc etc...so i keep mine by himself...so i know what your going through..but i love mine and they have such a great personality otherwise.... i could never give mine up.
Seems you need to separate that catfish. If the problem is not addressed, your other fish will become stressed from the constant harassments.
Would some decor help? Meaning, if he had his own little territory, he may stop the chasing. If not, he may need to be seperated.
Liz, how big is yours?
