Angelicus Catfish

[bunjiweb]

Ladies and gentleman, I would like to introduce you to my new gentle giant, King of the 57Gallon tank!

He (or she!) Is a Synodontis Angelicus catfish, and measures around 6" in length!!! He is currently cohabiting with 6 gold tetra and 6 ghost catfish. However dangerous you say it is keeping with the tetra, it isnt a long term solution, having said that he doesnt seem bothered by them at all, and just swims right by them! Interesting...

Anyway, here are the pics!

Nice fish bunji





taking a risk with those tetras though

 

[bunjiweb]

No, THEY are taking the risk!... He really doesnt seem to care about them. But then, hes been in a small tank with random cichlid and rainbowfish companions for 2 months until now... he has 57 gallons of space to enjoy and i bet he is loving it

Hey, if i wake up with 1 less tetra i have plenty of places to move them to, but it adds an element of danger dont you think?

Absolutely stunning fish! I am extremely jealous!

Beautiful fish!

Gorgeous! I keep meaning to get Synos for my bigger tanks, or talking cats cos I don't have little fish anymore.

Are you getting more or do you have other Synos?

Very cool, although as most of the fish are bottom dwellers I would suggest a larger shoal of glass cats. They look great in a big group IMO.

 

[bunjiweb]

I was thinking that, I may get 3 more.

Ben

edit: just another thing to mention, flagtails are middle swimming as well as bottom dwellers, and the pictus cats dont really have a general area, they just go everywhere! hehe ..... Anyway, it is my "Catfish Tank".

I was thinking that, I may get 3 more.

Cool, although i would say 4 or 2 as they should e in groups of an even number in case they pair off (as mates, not for breeding) and leave a lone one.

 

[bunjiweb]

Ah ok thats fair enough I hadnt actually thought of it that way!
