	What to pick
tommyc Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 1146 Votes: 75 Registered: 11-Aug-2003	Could someone, please suggest something that I could use as a bottom dweller, that will be ok with my fronts. Don't want to go the common pleco route. A colleague of mine suggested these, Synodontis Decorus or Synodontis Brichardi. What do you think, Oh tank size is 185 gal. Thanks, Tom.

They stay a lot smaller than common plecs, look cooler, and can be kept in groups in a tank as big as that. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I kept a trio of syno eupterus with my frontosas and had no problems. I have also heard of people keeping syno multipunctatus and petricola (lake tang synos) with frontosa too. I also kept bn plecs in the fronty tank to keep the brown algae at bay. Lindy Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Tommy has them in a good sized tank so I doubt he will see any aggression at all. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I am told by my neighbour, that he picked it up from a lfs here in Calgary, so I am assuming it has been raised in the same water conditions as I have. Beautiful fish will post a pic when he is settled in. Thanks Tom.
