I have a group of 5 wild caught Syno multis. I am asking $125 for the group. They range from approximately 3.5" to 4.5". I'm tearing down all my tanks and setting up a SA planted tank. I just need to sell these multis to be able to get rid of my 55g and make room for my new 90g rimless. I prefer ...

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Apistomaster, when you double bag do you put anything in between the bags? On the kordon website they recommend putting moist paper towel between the bags when double bagging. They don't explain why though.

I have some syno multipunctatus I'm trying to sell locally. I would like to be able to offer shipping to be able to sell them nationally and increase my chances of finding a buyer, but I don't like shipping with regular bags because of how much space they take up. Would it be safe to ship them in ...

I am getting more into planted SA tanks now so unfortunately I can't keep these guys. The group is 5 4"+ WC multis which were originally purchased from Dave Schumacher. Make an offer. I do not ship, so pick up only. I live in Hampton NH, but am willing to meet half way if its on a weekend and its ...

Are you sure your not thinking of managuense, which can easily reach 16"? Motaguense don't usually get over 12". A single can easily be kept in a 75g tank(48" x 19" x 22"H). Even a pair could be kept in a 75g if you get lucky with aggression, as the females generally don't reach over 10". Also, this ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Any idea where I could look to find one?

Hey all, Could anyone recommend a rough and tumble catfish that would be ok in a 75g with a parachromis motaguense? I'm trying to put together a Honduran biotope, but I'm not going to be that strict about it. So anything from central America will be fine. Although if I could find a species from ...

Thanks for all the info. I didn't even realize people had responded, I was expecting an e-mail notification. I was mostly just curious about if it would be a possibility for me to breed them in the future. I don't think I would be willing to dedicate the tank space needed to actually breed them(if ...

I wasn't sure where to post this, figured this was as good a place as any. Are there any good articles on venting with pictures? I have found written descriptions, but so far no pictures or even illustrations. The specific cat I am trying to vent right now is a Synodontis eupterus. But I would like ...

I have a group of juvenile Synodontis eupterus temporarily in with my ameca splendens. One of my amecas is now pregnant and I would like to keep the fry. Do I need ot worry about the eupterus eating the fry?

Thanks

How do you know when they are sexually mature? How long does it take to reach this point from 1" fish?

Is it possible to breed Synodontis eupterus? I can't imagine that all eupterus being sold are wild caught. But I can't find any information on them breeding or even mention of them breeding in captivity. I have an opportunity to buy a juvenile colony pretty cheap and was thinking about possibly ...

Thanks for the help. I actually have an order of Synodontis multipunctatus coming in on saturday(I guess thats today. I just got home from work...second shift gets some getting used to). Dave has been very helpful and I will definitely be buying from him again. His site was actually the first I went ...

I'm looking for a group of . I will pay to have them shipped or pick them up if you are close.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! There will be a small shoal of tetras as well and maybe some shrimp. but I want the catfish to be the main focus out of the fish. I was thinking maybe 3 or 4 catfish that reach around 3", but ofcourse the catfishes needs come first. So if they need a larger group ...

Yeah, I've heard that riccia can be a pain, but when it works it looks amazing. I am most likely going with the HC since this is my first try at a heavily planted tank. I will be using CO2, so no problems there.

I'm setting up a 20g long planted tank and was thinking about putting a few smaller catfish in to mix things up a bit. A little about the setup: The hardsacpe will be mostly driftwood and maybe a few choice rocks. For the most part the tank will be open, but their will be some good caves around the ...

Isn't terracotta difficult to cut?

Thanks for all the info.

How exactly do you use a saucer to make a cave? do you just lean it agains a rock or what?

I don't want anything unatural visible in my tank, so I'm trying to figure out how I could do this without it being noticeable.

Thanks for the info. I'm planning on 5 for my tank. I'm going to add a breeding group of Aul. jacobfreibergi to the tank as well, but not until my saulosi get a little bit bigger and I can get their ratio to 2m:8f. I figure the peacocks will be more likely to hold multi broods successfully. Clean ...

I am planning on putting a group of wild caught Synodontis multipunctatus in my 55g with some Ps. saulosi. Does anyone have any experience setting up a tank for them that will encourage breeding and general comfortability in their new environment? Is sex ratio important? Because I don't think I ...

Haha, very nice.

Thanks for the encouraging words timberwolf. I have been at the wrong end of that game before and its not fun. I've actually had to leave a couple forums because I was so tired of people doing this. Not to say that I'm perfect, I have jumped on the bandwagon myself a few times. Although I think I do ...

Unfortunately I don't have pics because I'm buying online. But the ones labeled "burundi" are from a supplier which I know to be very reputable. Their multis are a little more expensive but I will pay the extra amount for peace of mind.

Thanks for the help!

wow, this thread really blew up.

Thanks for all the info, its more than I could have hoped for.

I was asking because I was trying to compare a group of wild caught synodontis multipunctatus with a group of synodontis multipuctatus "burundi" to decide which to buy.

I don't plan on mixing variants, I'm just curious why someone might brag that their multi is a burundi. I found that post in my searches and it only added to my questioning.

Is there one variant that is prefered over others?

But is there any reason to choose one over the other?

Would these have more or less demand than other multis?

I've heard people mention their synodontis multipunctatus burundis before but I'm not sure how these are different than just regular synodontis mutipunctatus. Could someone enlighten me?

Thanks!
