Upside-down cat, should I have more than 1

[GrapeApe]

I've heard they like to have buddies.  Is this known fact?

I have 1 and want to make sure he stays happy!

[mseguin]

Yeah I would go with at least 3 or 4.

[GrapeApe]

Ok, cool, thx!

Do you get paid to work these forums? lol

[mseguin]

No, what do you mean ? :-)

[GrapeApe]

Just every time I have a question you answer it in less than 2 minutes!  Not complaining at all  just figured you should get paid for that kind of service.

thx again!

3. http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?genusname=Synodontis&speciesname=nigriventris

its al ldepening of the size of the tank!

[GrapeApe]

Looks like contractus to me.  Got it at BA Innes maybe a month ago, was in last week and they still had them.

[mseguin]

It would be nigriventris then.
95% of the time it'll be a nigriventris.

[GrapeApe]

Could be, the picture on that link for the nigriventis was hard to see, almost looks like it's partially transparent.  

I have high 8.2ph maybe a titch high for nigriventis, but really high for the other 2 types.

[mseguin]

They should be ok, nigriventris are pretty hardy.
The only Synos I remmeber us ahving in the last few weeks are nigriventris, eupterus, multipuncatus, and angelisicus, and they're all very distinctive.

This is what a typical nigriventris looks like.

Must be nigriventis then.  That pic looks blue/purple.  My cat is chocolate brown/dark brown and black.

THe pic is messed up a bit, the pale area sometimes has a bit ofa pinkish hue top it
