Hey all,
Building the stocklist for my (recently ordered) Waterbox 50.3 AIO system (36x20x18). I was thinking of doing a saulosi species tank, but I decided I want more blue barred fish, so the current plan is to go for a dozen demasoni and 1m/4f yellow labs (ruarwe orange). I was hoping to get some catfish in the tank, but I want to stick with only fish from lake malawi. So that leaves me with...
1) Synodontis njassae. Any experience with this species? Stocking suggestions for my tank? And...maybe more important...is it even possible to find this species for sale? Having trouble tracking any down.
2) Synodontis nigrita. I'm seeing conflicting reports about whether this species is found in malawi; I see some (reputable) sites selling it as a malawi species (and it looks like the geographic distribution is pretty wide ranging), other sources are saying njassae are the only reported malawi syno. Any clarity to this debate?
Thanks all, I'm going to post a build thread when my tank comes in. Should be pretty...rimless starfire glass, carbon reactor + UV for perfectly clear water, all equipment in the AIO chambers 8)
