Upside-Down Catfish Care Guide
The Upside-Down Catfish (Synodontis nigriventris) is a intermediate-level freshwater aquarium resident from Democratic Republic of the Congo. It reaches about 3.9 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 30 gallons.
Keep water near pH 6.5-7.8, temperature 75-82F, and hardness 2-15 dH. Feed omnivore, sinking wafers, frozen food with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Upside-Down Catfishs spend most of their time near the substrate and usually ignore mid-water fish. Avoid sharp gravel and very aggressive tank mates.
