Hi,
Today at the LFS i saw teeny tiny baby Featherfins.
I am just wondering if these can be kept with USD Cats, and will they eat fish like neon/glowlight/wcmm size?
Thanks.

I would not. No offense, but your 75 gallon is fully stocked already (it's definitely an awesome tank, all things considered), and cannot handle a messy 8 inch bottom feeder.

Juvenile eupterus are utterly captivating, but the adults, while impressive and lovely fish in their own right, are a tad large. If your aquarium is already a 'busy' aquarium, you'd have to rehouse some of the current inmates to make room for the eupterus. And although they don't have a particularly bad reputation in the 'right' community setting, putting an adult in with Neons might prove too tempting to it

I'd say that a 75G would probably be a good home for a pair of these on their own. They can be fairly active and should be given a combination of intricate bogwood tangles to hide in, and open swimming spaces, as per the usual riverine or non-Rift Synodontis furnishing plan.
