Howdy PC members.
I wonder if anyone with experience could tell me what temperature ranges you've kept Microsynodontis at; any other
tips you have are welcome. Purchased a couple of these recently... Real nice, couple inches long at most at the moment. Couldn't tell you what species but they def appear to be Microsynodontis. Based strictly on the photos I see here on PC, I might lean towards hirsutus. https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/sp ... es_id=1305 I'd be grateful for any info from catkeepers who've worked with these before.

Re: Temps for Microsynodontis
Hi Chris,
It's most likely to be but I have not seen them get much more than 2"/5cm, I've keep a few of these and congeners. Really unfussy - temp 74F to 78F or up to 84F as long as decent filtration.
