Synodontis Petricola...heard of them?

[PBirdsong]

Our lfs just recieved these very tiny catfish he says are called Synodotis Petricola. They are not even half an inch long but are absolutely adorable! We're told they don't get very big and would love to have a few (they're quite pricey for such tiny things too) and want to get more info on them. Does anyone have any or heard of them????

Very cool synodontis. Gets about 5" long. Do a search for them on planetcatfish.com. You'll find some decent info on them.

Nevermind. I got it for ya.

Fluff has it covered! I love this fish! The hatchery that I go to has lots of them, and I love to watch them!

I have 5 of them in a Lake Tang tank. They are pricey because as synodontis go, they are lovely and small.

Thanks for the help. I think our LFS has the Dwarf species.
