| − | :The female is larger than the male and will also appear more plump. | + | |tank_compatibility=:A relatively peaceful catfish, keep with other similar sized community fish. It prefers to be in numbers of it's own kind; in the wild, it travels in schools of several thousand. If there are only 2 kept in an aquarium, one may begin to dominate the other. |
| − | + | |diet=:Omnivore. Readily accepts flakes, but will appreciate frozen foods such as [[bloodworm]] and [[brine shrimp]]. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:May be fed up to three times daily. This may be the only time the fish will turn "right side up" as it scours the substrate for food. | |
| − | = | + | |environment_specifics=:Needs to have a have a place where it can hide, as well as rest up against something, upside down. Bogwood and rocks with a large hollow are ideal for this purpose. Dense vegetation provides a good cover too. |

| − | + | |identification=:Will mostly be found upside-down in the tank, has several [[barbel]]s and a high back. Colouration varies and pales as the fish ages, but it is generally a dark grey with is blotched in various shades of grey and pale cream, occasionally appearing as vertical uneven bands on the flanks. Can be mistaken with ''[[Synodontis contractus]]'', but the ''S.contractus'' has a larger head and eyes. | |
