Synodontis multipunctatus Spawning vid


cichfanatic

Recommended Posts

Hi AW you’re right

Just doing some research and came across this

The 4 synodontis multi have not shown there faces since being put in the tank

They seem to like caves more than my cichlids

Maybe it will take them a little time to get used to there new home

I’m feeding them at night and nothing seems to be left by the morning so probably all is ok thought it best to give them abit of time without interfering but will check on them in a few days

Vidoe clip of a school of 30!

Just looks neat in a big group.

No doubt once they settle in they'll make their apparance known.

My Fronts were shy, barely wanted to come out of the cave for food, but now they attcaking the food at the surface. My biggest Front pretty much went staight to the surface the same time I dropped the food in to grab as much as he could.

Yea :D Seem to hide a lot

I have put them in temp tank until new setup is up and running

Hope once they are settled in there new home they will spend more time in the open

A neat looking syno who knows maybe a few years from now I will be able to get youngings fingers crossed

Not sure yet what cichlids to use

They are still very small so plenty of time yet to decide

Will keep them in with my Fronts in the mean time

Had a few dramas and thought that the best thing was to sell the Fronts

But sometimes good things do happen and now able to keep them and setup a 6 foot tank :D

So when setup this is going to be the home for the syno multi’s for now

mine are about 4-5 inches living with a group of malawi fish.. they were eating too many tropheous eggs :x

They are very active aswell. Always out eating and chasing the cichlids around. Esp my male afra.

Only now they are getting onto a meaty diet so the one that i think is a female is sorta fattening up.

From what i have read it isn't a good idea to have big colony.

Not to worried about having them with the fronts

I’m not keen on letting the fronts breed anyway as I feel they have been line breed enough

So much rather see if they make good hosts for the syno’s

If not I’ll look at another cichlid

Also depends on how much the syno's harass the frontosas

My Fronts welfare takes priority

Would be great to have little syno multi's and see the spawning take place
