View Full Version : synodontis for SA cichlids
In another thread a synodontis cat (or three) has been recommended for my 150 gal festae tank. There will be two festae. Right now the festae are about two inches. There are also seven silver dollars and five giant danios. I would like everyone's ideas on what they would do. I will probably order from here (http://www.ohiexchange.com/armke/list.htm) I don't want to spend more than $100 including shipping. What would you do?

sorry to say but when you festae get bigger you wont be able to keep anything with them thier one of the meanest fish out there. i had synodontis cats with mine and they killed them if your looking to build a community around it .wont happan maybe if you had something that rarely comes out of its hideing spot and you bring the food to it

like a striped or spotted raphael. They are armored as well and have withstood several battles with my cichlids, granted none are as bad tempered as a breeding pair of festae, but my GT doesnt like anyone invading his territory witch my raphael has done before and the raphael held his own. Thier spiny bodies also help out.
