I just got offered a 2yr old 3.5" upsidedown catfish, and was wondering if its alright to add him to my community tank. I currently have a 3" Senegal Bichir, 2.5" RTBS, 3 1" Tiger Barbs, and 2 Emerald Corydoras one being 1" and the other 1.5".
 
for a 2 yr old upsidedown cat that seems too small.what size tank was it in as its growth may be stunted and it wont live as long as a regular healty fish.is it S nigriventis or mystis leucophasis?
 
I'm not to posotive on it being a full 2years old... the LFS told her it was a year old when she got it, but it was only 1.5" and looked like a baby to me. Its been in her tank for 13months now and lives under a bridge ornament... last time I seen it he was 2.5-3".

Its definately a Synodontis nigriventris, and he is a fatty. The tank he is currently in is a 15gallon.
 
if you want the fish and hes compatable get him even though it sounds alot like stunting.a fish of 2 yrs or even 1 yr should be about 4 inches easy.what other fish you have?
 
My current fish are listed above... this fish isnt mine its out of my moms tank she is taking down. I'll take a good look at it today and let ya know exactly how big he is, but his growth could be stunted from the tank he has been in. She has 3 albino cories, 6 neon tetras, the upsidedown cat, 2 chinese algae eaters, and a betta.
