Catfish of the month January 2003
Posted: 06 Jan 2003, 17:24
Synodontis granulosus has inteed been bred commercially in eastern europe.Czechs(was that correct name of the country?) has done it.Last summer bred S granulosus were sold at the price of 10?(10£) in Stockholm!!!Couple of those was brought to Finland by one hobbyist and to my knowledge their are actually S granulosus and doing fine.Below is the link to this aquarium exporter which has them on their breeding program.They have also other Synodontis catfishes.We in Finland do receive some commercially bred Synodontis (mostly S schoutedeni)from Russia.Nowadays they have have even crossbred some of those(S decorus* S robbianus)-which isn`t very wise idea.
