  Thats was my first thought but if you look closely in the picture you will see the longer, thicker maxillary barbels on this sp, P bufferi does not have them like this, it has small thin, hair like maxillary barbels and a dorsal fin.  :)

Yes they should be kept in groups, more the better ;)

Looks like a African glass cat to me, here's a link -  http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=3

Looks very similar to M tengara, that goes by the name Pyjama catfish.

Deffinately no S robertsi, the eye is not nearly big enough, this looks like one of the hybrid Syno's they are producing now. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=4397

Not a great picture, but its a Synodontis sp and probably S nigrita :)

Fantastic pictures and video's. could you please post some pictures of how they are set up for overwintering when you have time. :nod:

Great set of pictures :good:

And what would that have to do with this? Have we not become more civilised in the last few thousand years?

A quick clean shot and its over with shooting, but lets be honest sticking a arrow in the back of this fish and it towing you round for a hour or two is classed as sport? its just cruelty, no need for it, for eating or not. :angry:

Great pictures, would really love to try this one day. Love the Luna moths too ;)

When i said "sport" i meant the sport of killing as in a blood sport. And from what ive read it tastes like crap.

Yes i eat fish, and have seen the size of Tuna, but lets face it he killed it for the sake of killing it and a "sport".

What a shame and a waste, hope he feels good for killing such a fish. :angry:

A friend of mine had P afer, he said it was a mean fish at night once out n about Papyocranus afer, Mormyrops anguilloides, now your getting into the mean fish of Africa, Gymnarchus niloticus next?? :lol:

KLAS, sounds good to me :nod:

Great bargain, looking forward to seeing your choice of inhabitants :good:

If your into Mormyridae, look at cornish Jack (Mormyrops anguilloides) they might take your fancy ;)

That video is from "Tanganyika, jewel of the rift" an amazing wildlife documentary, well worth watching. If anyone knows where i can buy it on dvd let me know.

This may help you ;) http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/pimelodus_albofasciatus.html

They do appreciate brackish, but lot of people keep in fresh with no problems. There is supposed to be a completely land locked area in Africa where they live where they thrive.

Lol, i dont even keep fish at the minute, but i am looking at getting a tank soon. Once you have the fish bug it never leaves you :nod:

Yes they do very well in groups, probably better in groups to be honest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwUhs8pdQ8g

If you could find them the Banded Scat (Scatophagus tetracanthus) would make a excellent addition, but they are hard to find :sad:

Not used tree roots but used dead beech branches numurous times, taken from the tree not off the ground. :)

Cool cat, one of my favourite pims :good:

Beautiful sp, good luck with them. ;)

Could look at Disticodus sp for larger fish to mix with your Mbu. :nod: D sexfasciatus are stunning when young and tough enough to cope with a puffer.

Vey nice set up, a nice shoal of African red eye tetra's (Arnoldichthys spilopterus) would go great with your congo's. ;)

Anyone seen them in there lfs recently, and if so how much?

Just searching the net for info on these and found this. Congratulations and well done on your breeding of this sp. If its not to much trouble could you please post info on how you keep and breed them please, you must be doing all right to get them to reproduce. PS would be interested in some...

Here's a profile i done on them a while ago ;) http://www.####.com/forum/index.php...t=0&#entry70241
