    Okay has anyone had any practical experience of this wee catfish? Ive picked one up and so far hes been really secretive and hidden away for the best part of five days, only seeing and orange nose poking out from the wood every now and then.

    I have a feeling that its a shoaler and as such, as per law of sod, i can't find another one anywhere lol. so lets have that practical advice guys wink.gif

    Flavi's are a typical syno, shun bright lights,secretive,and can be aggessive, but this is more about terretorial issue's than out n out aggessivness. a very beautiful catfish, one of my fav's, that can handle the rough n tumble of most predatory community tanks. wink.gif

    Excellent, plan on housing him with my S.multipunctatus and S.Orantapinis with some alunacaras, should do nicely
