Stocking Ideas: 36x12" syno display aquarium

Post by Grimace »

Hey!

I have an aquarium that's 36x12" base and was considering stocking it with Synos. Living in Australia, we're not available to all the catfish you guys have (well, not as readily at least ><)

So erm, I was thinking of some S. Multipunctatus and maybe S. Eupterus (depending if their max size is 6" or not) and i love the S. Nigriventris. But, I'm not sure how many of each I could stock. Please give me more ideas and I'll see if they're available in Aus... ><

And also could you give me tips on aquascaping? I'm looking at: Big Piece of Driftwood, and a lot of caves made of rocks etc. Oh, and a sandy substrate.

Thanks and sorry abt all that reading :D

Ok I found out that the S. Eupterus may be out of the question. It grows so bigggg!!!

Anyway I've also taken a liking to the Striped Catfish... the s. Flavitaeniatus (GEEZ that name's hard to remember!!) I'll go see if its available in Aus. Thanks!
