Synodontis melanosticta

[jclyde13]

Does anyone have any info about this fish? My lfs has had one for a couple weeks now and I think it looks really cool, so I googled it and couldn't find any info on it. I'd like to know its adult size, temperment, and water requirements, as well as any other helpful information. Also, is $100 too much to pay for one? (it is about 6")

So no one knows anything about this fish? Actually I'm beginning to think that the lfs had it mislabled and it is actually a S. frontosa.

I have looked at this page, and posted this same thread on PC (no help yet there either), but if you read through that page, you'll notice that the only info provided is its origin and information about its name, neither of which really help me at all. Thanks for trying though.

I actually ended up buying it yesterday (I guess the $99 price tag was enough to deter all of the other potential buyers for the last 15 months ). Still trying to figure out exactly what it is, though.
