Nice fish. Good price. What're the other two fish?

Synodontis decorus.. These guys will look killer once they are adults.

Wow. I just googled them. Very nice looking fish. I'd love to have them if I wasn't so into clown loaches. How big do they get?

I found this when I was looking for the species you got. Pretty neat looking too. Guess it a hybrid.

They get around 10". I'm keeping them with 9 clown loaches as well, both are peaceful so they should not have any issues.

The one in the pic is a hybrid. There are a lot of hybrids but the two I got are the real deal.

Man, that's a lotta action on the floor. Gonna get crowded in 5 years when everything's grown out!

I'm hoping so, that will justify a 180+

I am selling the Pictus though, it is not worth the hassle. Supposedly they are active, I never see him unless he is chasing the clown loaches. Since the Clown's are my main fish he's going.

Pictus are typically active, at least in my experience. However, they're most active in groups. If you have a single one, that's likely to be part of the problem.

 

[Mudfrog]

That's what I figured out. Most all of the care sheets left that part out though.

I dig severums but I dig plants more. Do you have any photos of them in your tank yet?
