Synodontis nigriventris (Upside-down catfish)
Good evening everyone,
We came so close to buying an upside-down catfish about a week ago. I had read about them and felt like one could be manageable for us. But when we had selected one and it had been netted, the young woman at the shop alluded to her friend’s getting to be 10 inches long. I am sure my eyes revealed my surprise to hear that. Is it true that they can get that big? We did not buy it because I am not prepared for a catfish of that size. The young clerk said, “Don’t worry, they will get only as big as your tank will let them.” Of course she was referring to stunting and we do not condone that. So the fish went back in the tank and I promised my child to do more research. I wonder, what sort of ultimate size have people here experienced?
Thanks, Beverly in Texas
Peace, please!
