17-18y Synodontis
- Synodontis nigriventris lived 17-18 years in my tank. Someone wondered how the death ones float....sideways on surface. Great shy fishes, closer to 15cm lenght.

Upside down catfish CraZy!!!!
- I just got another aquarium a 30gal aquarium I put 7 common upside down catfish in it, 2 upside down feather fin catfish (synodontis eupterus,) and 2 hybrid upside down zebra catfish. I had 4 lace catfish in it, but the are really aggressive toward their cousins so I removed them, they are currently in my 16gal in till my pet store gets more upside down catfish. I will be trading them off for 4 common upside down catfish so that will take my total of common upside down catfish to 11. Upside down catfish CraZy!!!!

Upside down catfish CraZy!!!!
- I meant to say 2Lace Catfish/”false upside down catfish,” do swim upside down periodically &, brief, all the time, and that my 2 Cory catfish “attempt to copy their upside down relatives,” I mean, the Corys might swim belly to the glass from top to bottom, or spring off of rocks, and the driftwood you name it, all of the above mentioned and, the not mentioned, they WereNot doing any of it in till I introduced, 12 Synodontis Catfish Species to my 1 betta and two Cory catfish arsenal. My drift wood is like giant roots stretch out from wall to wall, and falls inches from the surfice of the water, so they are caught up. They feel protected amongst the “man made” roots setup so the do the stuff that would be done only at night, all the time.

Upside down catfish CraZy!!!!
- I have 6 of the common black and brown spotted 2-3 inch max (black stomach) upside down catfish, 4 Blotched Upside Down Catfish 4-6inch m, 2 lace 4-6inch m, 2 Cory catfish, 1 small algae eater, and a betta in a 20gal. Almost every one stories about their upside down catfish consist of how they almost never see them, well not me do to they are amongst their own kind, plus I have the major the key to success(Driftwood), my fish are out and about day and night. They are always joking for position amongst each other, taking and rendering hide outs, zipping and zooming all over the place upside down right side up, sideways, etc . The betta ( Petter Pan) acts like he owns the place. Setup correctly and your fish act naturally and show off every thing that their species has to offer openly. Try out schooling your upside down catfish (with Driftwood ) and in joy what most don’t. Upside down catfish CraZy!!!!

Synodontis nigriventris x 3
- I have 3 of these cute little upside-down catfish in a 26 gal. aquarium with 9 neon tetras, 1 dwarf powder blue Gourami, and one Amazon spotted sailfin pleco (he's about 4 inches long). I have 2 pieces of Mopani driftwood, 1 piece is arched and cave-like about 6 inches long and 1 piece is sort of straight, but knobby along the bottom and this piece I have standing straight-up in the corner. My upside-down catfish have claimed this piece as theirs and they play around-and-about it all day. They also come out and play all day long. My tank is 80 degrees, pH is 6.6 to 6.8 and soft. I use SeaChem Neutral Regulator and Discus Buffer to bring the water to these parameters and keep them there. I also do partial water changes of 10 to 20% daily or every-other day using a gravel vacuum and have an Aqua-Clear 30 gal. filter. I have Wisteria and Anubis plants along the back and in front, respectively. I really enjoy the addition of this little school of upside-down catfish!

what happens when they die
- just curious since an upside down fish swims upside down everywhere, when it dies does it flip right side up? my 9 yr old daughter asked this question. I just was wondering if anyone has had a upside down fish that died.
