I love Synodontis...you can't tease us like that with no pics!!

he's really hard to get a picture of, always scooting around the tank. hopefully when I get him some buddies I'll be able to get some pics.

I hope you can get them soon...a small group would be nice!

it was misidentified at the LFS, it is synodontis petricola. quite cool, I'm going to try and breed them.

Congratulations, I have 3 of the multipunctatus and they are so cool. I rarely see them but they come out once in a while. When breeding them, I believe the easiest method is when they need a host fish. Like cichlids, they eat the other fish's eggs and substitute their own. Works with mouthbrooders only I believe.
