The Synodontis Agelicus X Eupterus Hybrid Catfish may also be maintained with Alestes Tetras and most African Cichlids of similar size.

Currently, many synodontis catfish species are being successfully bred in the aquarium. Look for more hybrids to come in the future.

Synodontis Catfish are omnivores and should be offered sinking catfish pellets, frozen/thawed bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, plus a good quality flake food.
