Relevant Information: Synodontis flavitaeniatus was the original name for many years, but the gender of the generic name has been declared feminine, so the name goes back to the original of flavitaeniata. This species has been hormone bred by Slovakian aquarist Petre Posel in 1994. Aquarium Care: Good community catfish in a larger setup but as with all Syno's will need their own space, meaning their own bit of bogwood, PVC pipe or rockwork to reduce the territorial behaviour of this genus.
