Hey guys, I want to buy a Synodontis for my 55 gallon mbuna tank. I dont want to buy Synodontis petricola or Synodontis multipunctatus because they are way to pricey. I wanna know if I could add a Synodontis nigrita a.k.a the lace catfish. WOuld he be to big for my tank? plus should I add him before or after the mbunas are placed in. The tank isn't stocked yet.
synos for mbunas

I'd either put the cat in before the cichlids or the same time. It's too bad there's no-one in your area breeding Syno's; they've really come down in price around here since a couple people started breeding them a few years ago to about the same as the lace cats. Easy cat to breed, and you'd probably see them more than the lace cat.
Dude if I could I would buy tons of Synodontis petricola and Synodontis multipunctatus but they are soooo pricey!!! Down here the cheapest i've found them for is 50 bucks a piece!!!
Plus they like to be around each other so It just wouldn't work out
