Synodontis angelicus & Hoplosternum littoral

Post by SoS »

Catfish rookie here:

I have a Hoplosternum littoral (6 inches) in a 50 gallon 36 X 18 x 18 with several caves. Would a Synodontis Angelicus get along with a Hoplo in a tank that size?

I think you could be asking for problems. S. angelicus are not renown for being friendly.

Besides, the tank is going to be somewhat cramped for an <i>S. angelicus</i>, which can reach 10" in length.
