Cuckoo Catfish Synodontis Multipunctatus

[australia]

hey all, i have myself a few Cuckoo Catfish (Synodontis multipunctatus) that i want to start breeding, im just not sure on how long i have to leave the eggs in the fish`s mouth for before i milk them? iv heard 2 to 3 days? is this correct?

That depends on whether you want to save any of the cichlid eggs. The catfish will have hatched by then, hard to say how quickly they'll start eating though. Once the cichlid eggs are gone the larger fry will eat the smaller ones.
