As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

Synodontis flavitaeniatus
Native Region:
Africa - Zaire basin
Temperament: Peaceful.
Feeding: Feed sinking pellets, flakes and freeze dried
foods.
Sexing: Mature females are larger
than males.
General Comments: The Synodontis
Flavitaeniatus Catfish originates within the Zaire Basin of Africa. It is black
in color with an interesting pattern of silver lines and spots. This species is
also known as an upside-down catfish, as it will hang in an inverted position.
They are wonderful scavengers, and are not overly aggressive. They also do not
dig as much as other large catfish, making them a great addition to a larger
freshwater planted aquarium.
The Synodontis Flavitaeniatus
Catfish will appreciate a fine sandy bottom with large roots and crevices for
hiding places in an aquarium of 50 gallons or more. Sensitive to nitrates, good
water conditions are necessary. It prefers a current in the aquarium. It can be
kept as a schooling fish or in a tank with other Synodontis species.
The Synodontis Flavitaeniatus Catfish may also be maintained with most African
Cichlids of similar size.
Currently, the Synodontis
Flavitaeniatus Catfish is not being successfully bred in the aquarium.
