Max Size: Synodontis Nigrita typically grows to around 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) in length.

Water Parameters: Keep the water temperature between 72-79°F (22-26°C) and maintain a pH level around 6.5-7.5.

Diet: Omnivorous in nature, Synodontis Nigrita enjoys a varied diet. Offer them high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and chopped vegetables.

Temperament: Synodontis Nigrita is generally peaceful and can be kept in community tanks with other peaceful fish of similar size. However, they may show aggression towards their own species or other bottom-dwelling fish if not provided with sufficient hiding spots.

Tank Setup: Provide plenty of hiding places like caves, driftwood, and plants as Synodontis Nigrita likes to hide during the day. A sandy substrate is preferable to prevent any potential injuries to their barbels.

Compatibility: Synodontis Nigrita can be kept with other peaceful community fish such as tetras, rasboras, and peaceful cichlids. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or territorial species.

Behavior: These catfish are nocturnal and prefer to be active during the night. They are known to be shy but can become more outgoing once they settle into their environment.

Fun Fact: Synodontis Nigrita is also known as the "Upside Down Catfish" because it sometimes swims upside down, especially when feeding on the water's surface or when resting. This behavior is thought to help them sift through detritus for food.
