Mustache catfish as sold by local fish store.
Can I wait before I judge?
Not a good picture.

The electric catfish in this video is yellow. I wonder if it still is free swimming?
And not caught by our African brothers?

Picture. Syno community.

No problem, yet. I’m thinking about when it can become a problem.
I forgot how I can post a picture..
So I can show you

Viktor..
I am also not happy about the prospect.
This was not my intention at all.
I have kept syno cats before, but didn’t bother to research enough, I made another beginner mistake.
Even after many years in the hobby...

Thanks Birger...
Wer u the one who spoke in Sacramento about synodontis?

How can I post videos?

Thanks for all the comments
Yes .. I have all of them in that smallish tank
I already separated 5 decorous and 1 tiny angelicus

Stunted....
So synodontis cats get stunted too?
I begin to notice the small ones don’t get to eat as much...
Is there anything more sad than just to keep them alive even ...

Re: nigirita..
thank u.. but I need more explanation

A natural color variant
A farm made color variant

After several generations of breeding
The gold comes out....
There are no other species involved...?

This weekend I will be getting synodontis pantherinus
I bought it cuz I want to see how they look like and basically know what they are....I’ll post a picture wen I get it this weekend

Attached is picture of fish I got ..
Sold as pantherinus..
I looked in the net and I don’t see it as such
Any ...

Do people mention names of dealers and or breeders in this forum? Or anonymity is respected?

New to synodontis fever. Bought 11 fish
6 angelicus
3 scribbled I think it’s #3 hybrid as per ur log
2 gold nigrita which I think your log doesn’t have yet??

Thank you for the discussion
For me it’s important... fairness and transparency.
The morality of the whole thing has already been thrown out ...

Hello. New here but have been a hobbyist for decades. But first time with a colony of synodontis. 6 angelicus, 3 scribbled hybrid, 2 gold nigrita. Sharing a75 gallon tank with a small group of demasoni. All cats are 2 to 2.5 inches.

Hoping to add more variety. I have only identified one consistent ...

They seem to be the only source....

Synodontis Robertsi..
Synodontis Clarias
Hemisynodontis membracenea

Im in conflict..

Syno Granulosus is indeed the holy grail of synos as of today.
Congratulations to all who have them.
They are now for sale in the east coast at $100 - 150 each.
Price is coming reasonable....

Yes. I think you need a colony .. or a community of a varieties of Synos to achieve serenity.... they will pick on each other ... period.

Congratulations.. this is what I want to happen to a tank I’m setting up.
I haven’t decided which syno to keep but I’m very conflicted.
I have considered the micro syno type you have.
They are good size ( tiny) and really affordable.
Do they get their tummies bloated like that normally?
