Hey guys, this little guy has been living in my sump, don't really know what he is so after a name so I can ID him correctly, really just need to determine how big he'll get so which tank in the house to move him into.

Your help as always is greatly appreciated.

Awesome cheers mate, I wasn't sure if they were the same...

So it should be about 15 - 20cm? so prob needs 180L + tank?

I should have called it a Synodontas eupterus.

I am not sure is the spelling is correct.

This fis can happily live in a 3 foot tank with lots of others including both Africans and Americans.

They are very hardy.

The females get really fat and the males are thinner.

(It must be an egg thing).

They are robust and territorial but fiarly safe to have in a community tank.
