I have the chance to buy these fish, and was wandering if anyone can shed their experiencs they have had with these fish. I am from Australia and hardly anyone has these fish which makes it difficult to find info locally. Has anyone here witnessed them breeding or involved in any sort of courtship? Also, how much do they fetch in America?

Synodontis angelicus has been featured as a CoTM. Some info on S. brichardi here.

S. brichardi is a lot more peaceful than S. angelicus, which can be quite aggressive with other synos.

Hi!

I am keeping 5 Synodontis brichardi for 3-4 months now, they are quite secretive, with each one having its own resting place, which can be under a driftwood or in pipe... it seems that they are a bit territorial between each others as some white marked are found on the body sometimes, and because of the shape of the marked, there is no doubt that it was done by a fellow Synodontis brichardi....
But still a good citizen...
Cheers
