    Alot of large species Synodontis will eat small fish, if it's small enough to fit in their mouths then why not :lol:

    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.

    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
