I have to knnow if the fish attatched is an Katangae or an ocellifer

I guess the pic did not come through,here goes another try

From just a quick look the adipose fin is taller,longer.... the coloration looks ocellifer
I can just barely tell but if you look at the mandibular barbels it probably has longer filaments as opposed to fairly short on katangae
Birger

Thank you he is one of my favorite synodontis and he was my first one,I kinda thought that he was an ocellifer but had to check.Thanks again for the help

he is really cute and chubby! and the one in the background, is that a multipunctatus one?

Yes that is a multipunctatus and he has five friends to play with.I have to say that the Multipunctatus are in behaviour very cool,and they have lived also I have no success with Petricola.As for the chubby one he is really mild compared to the shouendenti who is just Pavaroti like he is just a glutton.Once I saw that Ocellifer it was ano turning point kind of thing,I just cant get enough of them,and I keep buying the lottery tickets so that I might have the tank I want,but I might need to buy an acerage!

cool! I just love the catfish!

Thats great thanks for me it is hard to believe that some say they are ugly,but I guess each to his/her own.so what cats do you have any pics?

What problems have you had with petricola?

I dont know they just seem to die I have tried three seperate times.I am thinking of giving it one more shot

I only have eupterus's so far. I have 5. Two big two medium one small.

I only have pics of them when they were wee. Under African Catfish thread Synodontis eupterus, I kno wnot too original. I need to take more but they are elusive.

Oh and I have 12 peppered cories.

rfb - if you're goingto have another go with petricola(lucipinnis perhaps?) start a new thread highlighting your problems so we can give you speciifc advice - i have never has any problems with lucipinnis (the so-called dwarf petricola) or petricola & i am not the greatest fishkeeper by a long way!
