Synodontis Eupterus

[Phantom Thief]

Is there anyone here with experience on them? I think the shop swindled me, and mine are not Synodontis Nigriventris as they assured me it was

i got 3 of them! what u want to know!

ummmm they grow to about 8 inches or so my biggest is over 9 inches! smallest are 3inches each. they can live up to 15 years or so eldest is now 10 i think.

will that do for now.!

I've read that their max size is 6" though

So basically, will they fit in with the other fish in my 65g when they are at adult size, or will they wreak havoc? And do they have any special requirements? They seem to be doing splendidly in my tank, even though i'm not doing anything special for them

P.T.

Personal experience with this cat tells me this..............\

:They are frequently shipped in with S.nigreventis.
: These cats are mostly harmless, if a little chasey based on territory, but i wouldn't trust em with small sleeping tetra!
: Females are longer and bland, gaining spots and losing the height to the dorsal fin, males are thicker retaining some of that odd stripe pattern on their tails.
:this cat prefers the nocturnal night but as they get bigger they become bolder feeding during the day

Hope this helps
