mixing Synodontis with pictus

[Ruben Tolon]

Does anyone have any advice or experience mixing Synodontis multipunctatus or eupterus in the same tank as a four lined Pimelodus? I've considered doing so, but I'm concerned about aggression.

Not sure whether this is specific enough but I have Synodontis nigriventris in with Pimelodus pictus with no problems. They pretty much ignore each other. There are 4 of each species.

I guess it would depend on your Tank size. The fish mentioned all get over 8 inches

how silly of me, it's in a standard 125 gallon, I might be moving out some of my cichlids, and adding a couple of catfish instead. btw, i already have the pimelodus.

i curently keep both syno eupterus and notatus with pim blochii with no problems. My eupterus likes to stay close to the rocks and stay upside down where the pims keep to themselves. And the notatus loves to hang out with the pims.

I would not recommend mystus sp. with syno, mine fight on a regular basis, but nothing life threatening, just chasing back and forth.

They should be fine as long as the Pictus arent in too high a PH.
