Synodontis? how many

Post by vantgE »

say i were to buy one for my tank, not sure what kind yet whatever is in the city, anyway

Iv'e read that they are schooling fish so if i bought one would i have to buy more, but i also read that they get agressive as they get older and won't tolerate similar species, so i'm not sure if they need schools or if they prefer solitude :?:

thanks for any help :?:

This really depends on the species you get. Some like to school, other don't. Without some candidate species, it's difficult to answer your question with specifics.

what kinds could live alone? cause i don't have room for mor than one and therefore coudn't get a non-solitary species
