Synodontis granulosus
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 granulosa. Not very abundant in the Lake so the price
in your LFS will always be high if you are lucky enough to see this
beautiful species. Aquarium Care: Usually better
to keep as a lone specimen as two individuals will fight. Either
that or keep five or six in a large aquarium as this will dilute
the aggression. Will be okay with other species of Synodontis.
Diet: Omnivores: Will eat most aquarium fare, vegetable,
meaty and prepared foods. Keep as with all members of Synodontis
from Lake
Tanganyika, with a high
p.H.
