A very very nice picture of him.. he is a cutie! i think i also have a baby like yours.. i will try and get his picture to compare them.
I have the chance of picking up a Synodontis Njassae for about 20-30 bucks, it looks like its about 5-6 inchs as well. Im planning on making a African Biotope and this would go perfect but i just need to find out a few thing. How mean are they? I want it to be able to stand up to the Delhezi Bichir when he is full grown but i dont want to be a pest and always bugging him (The del will be around 14 inchs when full grown) How big will it get? I read around it they said a max of 11.6 inchs but usually around 7-8 inchs, is that right? What kind of food does it eat? High protiens? High vegetable matter? I was thinking of throwing in some amazon swords or something but i dot want them to be destroy. Will it eat algea like some of its relatives? How compatable is it usually? Will it be okay with some larger tetra's?
Thanks,

I really could not tell you whether it would be ideal tankmate to a bichir but i would think they would be fine..i know it is a synodontis from lake malawi ... and in the wild it would eat zooplankton, algae, insects and crustaceans..so i am sure it would enjoy algae pellets and cichlid pellets as well as frozen silversides and frozen shrimps and it also makes a squeaking noise which can be heard through the tank glass and it is a very attractive synodontis .. if you get it please post his picture....Amaroq;1280727; said:
I will deffinatly post some pics for you freaks if i get it 
I will be getting another Synodontis for sure, I would post pics of it but it past away. My whole african went down the drain when i added a piece of driftwood and it killed everyone in the tank but the bichir, by everyone i mean:
2 x Leopard Bush Fish
1 x African Butterfly
2 x Kribensis
1 x Synodontis Multi.
It made me put the tank aside for a while and i started but with CA/SA cichlids but i have to upgrade them so im gonna set the 55 up as a African Biotope again. Wish me luck!
