Can I Keep........

[fishy55599]

Can i keep a cukoo catfish with guppy, dwarf gourmais, swordtails, platy, phantom tetra, threadfin rainbowfish, bristlenose plec and dwarf frog.

This is a picture of what it is

How big is the tank? Not sure how they will get on with the frogs but most of the fish should be okay, they can be a bit predatory at times so the smaller fish might be in danger? They are also very expensive right now their price does fluctuate a lot so you might find some good priced ones but most are at least £20 each.

They are also best kept in groups of 3 or 4 rather than singularly.

I wouldn't risk it personally as they can eat small fish. They also prefer hard water with a higher PH.

If you do get one make sure its a cukoo catfish (Synodontis petricola)

Not False Cuckoo Catfish (Synodontis lucipinnis)

Which are worth About £5 not £20 like petricola and LFSs often get mixed up between
