| the ones we have are shoal fish... so we got 3 and its great to see them all swimming round together... all though they have destroyed a plant... it has to be them, cos it was fine when just the mollies were in the tank :2431: _________________  ~The dog is a gentleman!

| yea Black sharks are fine although biggest of the common ones.(but dont introduce any other type eg redtail blacks)the black shark can get to 12inches Jan do u know correct name for the synodontis cat. U will have to start watching how they fit in Jan as all the fish u have listed grow quite big |

| jan check ur fish finder site check these names and see if u get a pic to match that looks like urs or post a pic and i'll find it synodontis eupterus 6 inches (31inches) synodontis alberti 6inches " " synodontis decorus 10 inches (39inches) synodontis filamentosus 7inches (59inches)think its this one Jan the size in bracket is tank size required other is max size of fish in aquarium if it is this one read on keeping singular is recommended,this is aggresive towards con-specifics as well as hetrospecifies and will defend their territory energetically :thinking: |
