The Lace Synodontis Catfish is dark brown/grey with small black spots all over its body. Synodontis catfish typically require water that is well-oxygenated and has a relatively strong current. This can be achieved by using powerheads or a spray bar water return attachment on a canister filter. Provide hiding places situated in areas of heavy current for shelter. Most synodontis catfish are omnivorous, and should be offered both meaty foods and vegetation. This can be in the form of flakes, pellets, and freze-dried or frozen foods like bloodworms and blackworms. They are peaceful fish, and can be kept in most community and some African cichlid aquariums. Do not keep this species with very small fish like Neon Tetras, Rasboras or guppies. Synodontis are, for the most part, nocturnal fish. They may become more active in the aquarium during the day over time but will come out of hiding the most during the night. A very well planted, dimly lit aquarium will encourage them to come out more often. Decorations like plants, driftwood, and rockwork are appropriate.
