I will post pics of him when he has settled him self down..he is swiming all over the place,he likes to swim with the corydoras...and the cories doesn't seem to be bothered at all Last edited by robby1619 at 30-Jul-2005 14:08 I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Most catfish sold under the name upside down catfish are the Synodontis nigriventris. Check out these links to makes sure: http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/featherfin.xml http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/upsidedown.xml

For what he thought was H20, was H2SO4

They are not confused with any other commonly available species. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

One is a juvenile who is about 3" long and fairly thin, the other is a fully grown adult who is about 6 - 7" long and very thick. These are really interesting fish. Lots of personality. My adult seems to be on the go quite a bit. Very cool fish. Congrats
