nice link ... but because of my limited knowledge of the english language a few questions remain.

so they make the sound by moving there pectoral spines.
it took me a while to find out what "pectoral" means....

But for what reason do they make it?? .... fear, agression??

If i get it right, synos will only make a noise when they are "unhappy" or unconfortable...is this right?
So if this is right, i'm glad that i've never heard my syno "speak"...so he's happy.

I might be wrong (but i don't think so) but i don't think you should try to make them "speak" on purpose ...

when will i start seeing the bristles on his nose?
his +- 1" (2cm) now...

i know his still a small one but all i know is that it is suposed to an ancistrus species....

but which one? can anyone help?

so the chance of buying me a few(2) in belgium will be small, i presume....

Which catfish would be suitable to keep in a 6ft australian tank (with rainbowfish like boesemani ,trifasciata and duboulayi)

i see...

it's the freshwater species i'm intrested in...........

Just curious....maybe something for the future.......

Are there Australian Catfish??

And are they easy to keep??

hi,

does anyone has suggestions for tankmates for my synodontis ocellifer?

i used to have tetra but now he ate them all.... so tankmates have to be over 6cm (2") and easy breeding.

thanx
B

allright thanx!

i shall give it a try then. the crayfish will be happy to get out of their small tanks.

about 5" (13cm) now.

i don't know or it will still grow.
