The Albino Synodontis Petricola Catfish is one of the most attractively colored, manageably sized, and most popular fish of its genus!The Synodontis Petricola Catfish is a small and very popular species that is native to Africa's Lake Tanganyika. It has leopard-like spotting across its head and body as well as black fins with white margins, making for a very beautiful fish. This catfish is also known for its tendency to swim upside-down as well as its ability to squeak or croak when removed from the water. It is often very active, especially for a catfish, and it is compatible with a wide variety of fish.The Synodontis Petricola Catfish is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rockwork, and other hiding places. The Synodontis Petricola Catfish is generally peaceful and is compatible with most fish that are too large to be considered prey. It feeds on invertebrates in the wild, so it should not be kept with ornamental invertebrates in the aquarium. It will not bother plants. It is a small predator that produces a fair amount of waste and it is sensitive to declining water quality, so regular water changes and maintenance are a must.
