Synodontis petricola

Great little catfish that does well with african cichlids. Pretty common these days but still a cool catfish. My pair has bread many times but I've never gone to the extent to take the proper procedures.

Definetly. I'm always looking for other varieties. Such a hardy and good looking family of catfish.

When I had mine, they would breed and the eggs would get suck into my canister, and every time I clean my filter, I always find quarter inch frys in my canister.

My other syno favorite is the synodontis angelicus. Pretty fish but a little more expensive than the petricolas.

That would be awesome...and worth the effort to clean it out lol.

Forsure...I have one in one of my other tanks. I seen one once that was at least 12 inches. Mines around 6-7 inches but hasn't grown much over the last few years.

I just got two little maybe 1" ones that were stuck in the tank I bought when they were emptying it so I got them as freebies lol they are sharp looking little fish I like the colors slot but mine (at least at this size/time) hide alot
