Cuckoo catfish

[lethalp]

Does anyone have a cuckoo catfish form lake Tanganika? If so what did you pay for it and how many do you have, Thanks!

I bought a group of 5 for 20 bones each. I have had a few babies since then to offset the cost.

I've got 3 Syn. multipunctatus (what I've always seen called the cuckoo) in a tank; I think I paid $15-20 US each for them. Interestingly, they have bred in this tank. The fry get sucked up into an old Whisper 5 filter (other than it's fry-collecting ability, it's a piece of junk) where I regularly find 1-10 little multis swimming around. I like them; nice little fish that coexist with african cichlids quite nicely.

I have a total of 13 Petricolas in 2 tanks. I paid for the first 3 about 15 dollars each. Then I found a local breeder which I bought the other 10 for 6 dollars each. To breed these guys, I thought they had to be at least 1-2 years old to reach sexual maturity?
