My Synodontis
I keep a few fish that aren't African cichlids or bristlenose plecos.
A few shots of my Synodontis -- I have one eupterus that stayed in the rocks, so I couldn't get a pic of it. Looking back through old pictures, I've had these cats for around 7 - 8 years now.
This first one is a hybrid.

Re: My Synodontis
Looks like yours are quite social for the camera. I have 3 Petricola Mathes that always avoid any onlookers. I would have to take all the decor out of the tank to even think about getting a decent picture of them.

Re: My Synodontis
Thank you.
MRTom, two of them are at least 7 and 8 years old, the others a little younger.
Paintguy, mine come out to eat when I approach the tank. If they hang out in the rocks, the mbuna leave them nothing, so they come right up to the surface and swim upside down and jump up at my fingers to get their fair share. I used to put food in the tank at night after lights out, but all of them have learned to come up for their food now.
These are older pictures, but they still do this.

Re: My Synodontis
Thank you. I try taking those shots from the top once in a while. It's a challenge to not get the camera wet. The fish are so funny jumping and bobbing up and down waiting for their pellets. I've actually had a couple jump out of the tank and land on the glass top or the floor.

Lol, the instant panic to get the fish back into the tank. Then the double fun if it's a spiny fish.

Re: My Synodontis
Nice! I've got one Petricola and he's a cool dude. Always fun to see him cruise along, skimming the rocks and substrate. Though he has been much more elusive lately. I think it's time to find him some friends.
