Common name: Pygmy Leopard Catfish.

Species: Synodontis petricola.

Habitat: East Africa.

Potential size: 10cm. 

Social behaviour: Should not be kept with species small enough to be considered food but makes a good addition to a community of hard-water cichlids, ideally mouthbrooding species of Rift Lake origin. It can also be kept with suitably sized rainbowfish and livebearers. Best kept in groups (4+).

Food: Flake, wafers, tablets, frozen food etc.
