So I was able to get one of these for my 55g angel tank about 11 months ago. I bought it at 1.5" and it is now 4 inches. I mush say it's a gentle giant, it gets along great with my cory's and doesn't uproot my live plants. It's very reclusive though you only see it during feedings. Their really hard to come by in my Area and when I bought it I wasn't sure what I had bought till I did some research. Very pretty catfish for sure, the only other one I ever saw was a 7" one going for 50 dollars at the lfs. Anyone on here ever kept one of these?

I've kept several, they grow a bit larger than the more common eupterus or angelicus. Sadly, their background color becomes a coppery brown rather than the white of the juvies. Unlike most larger Syno's they are a social species, best kept in groups. Few people have a large enough tank to properly house a group though, and a 55 is actually too small for one mature adult.

I moved your thread to the general freshwater discussion where hopefully it will get a few more responses. It really doesn't belong in the cichlid forum.
I love the Synodontis genus of catfish, but haven't ventured into trying Synodontis decorus specifically.
