Synodontis Multipunctatus

Synodontis multipunctatus

Ask Finn

A fascinating Lake Tanganyika catfish famous for its remarkable brood parasitism strategy, where it times its spawning to coincide with mouthbrooding cichlids and slips its eggs in to be unknowingly incubated by them. It displays a white to silver body covered in numerous small black spots, reaches 6 inches, and does well in African cichlid community tanks; water should be hard and alkaline to match its Rift Lake origin.
