Ive hade him/her for about year, and grew from 1/2 to current about 3-4 inches. I know its a type of syno, but the internet seems to be unsure as to whether there is a valid species name, It is not a europtus or upside down cat, and it isnt in axelrods or baenchs profiles, so Im out of ideas. Please no links... i would like to know max size and a way to sex them, I havent seen any since I got it and it was sold under "Lace catfish"

i typed 'lace catfish' into my search engine (google) and immediately got lots of results for syno nigrita. 6-7 inches

sexing involves picking the fish up and closely inspecting the genital area

here's a link anyway just for fun. don't click on it if you don't want to.
