Afrikan Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Alot of large species Synodontis will eat small fish, if it's small enough to fit in their mouths then why not :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Not a worry, I kept a few different Synos and still keep a few even now, and definately wouldn't trust some with small fish ie small tetras etc Also rather a few species are night predators and scavengers so they can take small fish by surprise while lights out.

Ianab Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Synodontis are usually considered peacefull... But at a certain stage small fish start looking like food. I dont think any fish under 2-3 cm would be at risk, but smaller fish might be. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
