I'm not in the habit of commenting on adverts very often, but I feel the need in this case. The true "Upside Down Catfish" (Synodontis nigriventris) rarely exceed 7cm in the hobby and are pretty well behaved community citizens. My guess and it is only a guess at this moment in time, is that you have a far more fiesty and larger growing Synodontis nigrita. Please get a good side on photo of this catfish and get it properly identified by the catfish gurus (including qualified ichthyologists) at PlanetCatfish, so that potential buyers/adoptees know what they are taking on.

Hmm...from google-ing pictures it looks like you are right. Will get that double checked and confirm, thanks

Although am slowly losing faith in my local fish supplier as this was most definitely sold to us as an upside down catfish.

Did you get confirmation on the I.D of your catfish?
