After searching long and hard both on and offline I've found myself 2 of these wonderful fish for my cichlid tank! Synodontis petricola are native to Lake Tanganyikan where they only get to 5 or so inches in the wild. Does anyone have experience with these little fellows? I'll post some pics of them when I can get a good shot of them they are hard to photograph!

Oh cool little fish! Let us know how they are doing.

I have had my petricola for about a year. He (or she ) has grown less than 1cm. I had read that they are slow growing but does anybody know how slow ? At this rate I am guessing 5 years to reach full size. His spines must be an effective defence as none of my other fish like it when he starts chasing bits of food they drop.
