Got some Microsynodontis sp. 'Nigeria'- how do you bred them

Post by Plecofanatic »

Just got done looking for species info on these guys and the closet looking one is the Microsynodontis sp. 'Nigeria', I( got them from Ken Walker awhlie back ago from an auction I had won on Aquabid.

I thought that they had gotten eaten since I had not seen them in months, lol. But I was looking around the tank for fry from my lelupi and there they were.

How do you get these guys to breed?
Where are they from in Africa?
They are cool little catfish, about 1.5" long and very cool/ Ill post a pic if someone tells me how.

Thanks for any info you can give me.

It's as their name states. Probably from somewhere in the Niger River drainage.
