Hello!

I can get a group of 5 S. decorus for my west african streaming tank (200 x 40 x 50, about 9000 l/h turnover). But since I read in internet, that they come from slow-flowing river parts I'm not sure anymore if that will work. Does anyone has an advice? Also, can I introduce S. brichardi to them?

Thanks in advance!

Stan,

As your tank has 400 liters, the flow is 22 times an hour, or (assuming a lateral flow) an average flow of 44 meters an hour

Fast moving water is 1,25 meters a second, or 4000 meters an hour.

The average flow in your tank is still quiet

How many S. brichardi???

I think the two would mix okay, keep an eye on them of course, I do not think I would put more syno's than this....as this is max. Make sure there is more then enough hiding places for all fish in question.
Are they grown adult decorus already??

I agree with bas on the flow...even a quiet stretch of river can have a good current.

They come from me Birger
3 are around 25 cm, one is around 20 cm and the last on is 15cm.
This group is rather friendly, but sometimes they try to intimidate other catfish

thank you for the answers! Indeed its Martjins fish and I'm really looking forward to keep this guys now . Always wanted to keep decorus.
