Hey,
Thanks for your reply!
How come we don't see any large specimen in the hobby?
Are they rarely exported from Asia?

Hey, currently there are quite a bunch of imports of Rita catfish to Germany. They all are labelled as Rita rita. From the info I gathered identifying juvenile specimen is not the easiest plus there's confusion about what size they actually do reach in home aquariums. A peer of mine has one that ...

Hey, the average tank size here is around 120cm but yea there are some people having big tanks and indoor ponds as well although it's not that many due to the high costs to run a tank like that. Luckily I am well connected within the hobby and it should not be an issue to rehome the Neoarius. I've ...

Hey, This might not fit the topic 100% but the question is somehow connected to this situation. So I am looking for a catfish for my 180x80cm bichir tank. A few minutes an importer contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in Hemiarius stormii. So the info on the internet states a max size of 40 ...

There's quite a difference between 60cm and 80cm when it comes to tank mates . I was expecting to house a catfish similar size to a tigrinum not a red tail catfish ...

Hey, There were two specimen that had been imported. I bought one and a friend got the other one but managed to kill it immediately by not correctly introducing it to his tank after shipping. So my specimen currently is the only one I know of being kept in Germany. How come all sources state a max ...

Hey, I recently purchased a Neoarius which is currently in a quarantine tank. It was supposed to be 3in long but is over 8in. It was supposed to eat bloodworms but only eats smelt. So the info the importer gave me were not correct and because of this I just want to make sure the species id was right ...

Hey!
Can anyone ID this beauty?

Synodontis nigrita
Synodontis frontosus
Synodontis schall
Synodontis budgetti

It is around 30cm long (more like 27cm I guess)
Thanks!
