what are you housing it with.they are beautiful but rough fish.from what i remeber they should be housed with tankmates of simalar size.your probably not going to want to keep this fish with other catfish and maybe not other bottom dwellers.i could be wrong so lets see if someone else can pipe in.good luck

I have 2 about 5" long in a 150 gallon tank with
many other synodontis, i.e., feather finn, lace,
hammerhead, Alberti, and a some armour catfish
and plecos....
Give them plenty of hidy holes....
I ahve 2 large pieces of driftwood, so everybody
is happy if they all have enuf places to hide...

hey PDM! Me too! I've put a deposit down on a 6" adult, approx 2yo, at my lfs, it looks beautiful. I plan to keep it with a dozen congo tetras. Barbs and gouramis would be fine, anything under 2" would be considered supper!
Mine was a customer return so am not sure yet whether it was because it got too big or too aggressive. As Cholula says, so long as everyone has their place everyone will be happy.
I have read aound on scotcat and planetcatfish etc and reports are quite mixed. I'm looking forward to bringing mine home once the tank has cycled...keep in touch?
