Hello all,

Im looking for the following species of synodontis.

Synodontis irsacae
Synodontis petricola (adults)
Synodontis tanganaicae
Synodontis polli

Can anyone help?

The petricolas are easy to find(if you mean LUcipinnis). the others i have never seen in person. Check aquabid.

I'm not sure about your location but Armke have had some on the past. http://www.ohiexchange.com/armke/ Some of their ID's are a bit iffy but the pics are of fish you're after.

They are all available over here and actually not too bad price wise.

Petricola are easy to find but adult petricola not so much apparently. Nothing on aquabid as fas as adults go at the moment. I have been checking several times a day everyday for them. Thanks for the comment.

Armke got sold to Dave's fish. I contacted Dave's fish and he said he might be able to help me but it wouldn't be for another month or 2 and that the Synodontis come in as mixed. So the species I'm looking for can probably be had but I would have to order a box and sift through them since he is not that well versed in Synodontis species.

A couple people told me the same thing. That in order to get these species I may have to order a whole box or more and sort through them to find the species. All these species look similar so if something looks like a petricola it gets called a petricola even if its not.

I found some at Mike's Rift in the UK but he doesnt shipping overseas. Which sucks because he has all the species I want.

Thanks for you comment.

I know. I have heard nothing but good things about him. I wish he'd ship to me.
