Well, I hate to disapoint, so......

these were quite tricky btw, and it is a bit dusty looking because I snapped them at feeding time when they don't get spooked by the flash!

AWESOME!

Great pictures too......I hardly ever see my cuckoo cats.....someday, I will give them their own tank and try the old "fishy nookie" to get some wee ones....
Probably easier said than done. )

Anyone have any experience breeding these guys? Any synodontis?

One of them is dominant over the other three, but that just means he gets to hang upside down under a large piece of bogwood in the middle. Apart from chasing from that none at all really. They have been together since they were about an inch so that probably helps.
