Re: What to feed synodontis polli white babyes ?

I have never fed fry any kind of vegetable based foods. However, my adult grandiops & granulosus really like broccoli :d .

Re: What to feed synodontis polli white babyes ?

I've never raised polli white. However, I have raised grandiops & lucipinnis. By the time both of those are 1 cm long, however, I've never had any issue raising them to adulthood. When they are smaller I feed the lucippinis microworms & then graduate them to crushed Hikari carnivore tabs.

Beautiful tank man. I read your build thread, it's a great read. Your tank makes my 350 look small :(( . I love how you filled it with smaller fish, too.

Re: Synodontis petricola?

Silurus knows his fish, that's for sure. He writes for Practical Fishkeeping magazine and I imagine he's forgotten more about catfish than a lot of us know. One thing that tells you it's not a Synodontis multipunctatus is the leading edge of the dorsal and pectoral fins. Your fish have a white leadi...

Synodontis camelopardis possible wrong cate-log photo

The 1st picture of camelopardis in the Cat-eLog doesn't seem to be the same species of fish as the rest. It also doesn't resemble camelopardis in Seegers' Catfishes of Africa book. Is there that much variation in this species or might this be a different syno? http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/ima...

WTB Synodontis Granulosus

I'm interested in purchasing 3 to 5 granulosus. I know it's a long shot. I haven't seen them on any lists since 2011. I figure there might be someone who is looking to sell some out of their collection.

Thanks

Are there similar looking fish that it could be? Why are they so expensive? I agree with Birger, young grandiops or multipunctatus look like a little like granulosa. Granulosa are so expensive because most of the available fish are wild caught. Only Neil Hardy has been confirmed to have bred them i...

Re: Dwarf Synodontis Microsynodontis batesii

Synodontis granulosa go for 200+$. I know what you mean when you say you've been looking at a lot of pics of synos, I've been there. If you find 15$ granulosa, be wary, but if they're genuine, buy all you can house. :-BD
