Grabbed a Granny!

Hi Alan,
Nice asset. Is this the same fish you took some pictures of earlier?
One minor detail: I shouldn't use the name "granny" for this one. It's already (unofficially) used for Synodontis granulosus, so it will be confusing. On seeing your title I first thought you had bought a Syno and posted in the wrong forum :wink:

Yes it is the same fish as before. Took ages decided on whether to get it or not, although whenever I walked into my LFS I was always told that "your granulosus is still there"! I gave them a bit of "it gets big & you don't have a tank for it" and "how many others have a suitable tank?" and walked away with a bargain - 60% off the price at Wharf Aquatics (although they can be a bit expensive)!

Picking up a Giraffe Cat (Auchenoglanis occidentalis) on Thursday to go with it.
