Thanks for the ID guys I appreciate it! Do nigrita like to be kept in groups Ideally? I could keep my eyes open for some more but the only Syns I generally see are Eupterus, Upside down cats, expensive rift lake cats and Hybrids. Now I have a example of what to look for I could seek to find more Nigrita

S. nigrita is often available, just keep watching for it. Oh, you are in Calgary, go to Pisces pets, they have a few most of the times I go in there.They might also call them Lace cats.
