the catfish looks like a featherfin synodontis often sold as upside down catfish but they grow a fair bit bigger.

im off to research the odessa barbs as mine are acting very strange. the one i think is the mail is constantly chaseing the female this morning, he wont leave her alone and his colours have come out so much today he looks amazing. im no expert but it looks like spawning behaviour to me, the female keeps stopping during the chase and basically lying on her side exposing her belly to the male
as for the catfish they havnt grown much in the six months or so ive had them so fingers crossed they wont |
