This is my favorite aquarium fish. I also rrally love oscars & banded kuhli loaches
Yes they have so much personality
I have this fish and I can tell you that this is one of the best fish I owned . Its really a survivor and can do many cool tricks. Never fails to amuse me
who to know the gender
had mine for 8 years now. he's so amazing! very durable fish too
I love those catfish.
Thanks!!!
Awesome that he survived so many different tank setups and tankmates! Really beautiful looking fish as well.
Thanks...yes I'm amazed that each tank he went in he fit in well!
Respect for the survivor.!
I have one with my african cichilds. He is around 10 years old now.
10 Years....that's amazing! I've only had mine for about 6 years!
If you were ever short on food he could feed you for several days! He looks really cool!
Thanks, yeah when I first added him he was so afraid of the larger fish that I he didn't eat pellet food for about 3 weeks!
I have one of these!. Also got a big ol belly like yours haha. Had him nearly 10 years. He restricts what I can stock and how I scape my tank but hes my boy.
Amazing, that guy looks bigger than my dog!
Lol...Thanks!
I just got one of these.... really excited, they are such a cool catfish .... Cool video & info
Thank you, I just got a similar cousin: synodontis nigrita gold
I love these guys, mine just passed away a few days ago we had him over 10years and we took him on from somebody else who wasn't able 2 keep him anymore. amazing fish I love them
Thank you, they are awesome I have 3 more growing up!
:D I'm getting a new one in a couple of weeks I can't not have one :)
Great video, liked the next video as well. No fear of the "monster" fish.
Thanks, yeah they are at the point where it seems like nothing can scare them...not even me!
Nice video DWS!
Thank You!
I tried getting two featherfin cats but believe it or not my stripped ralph cats did not like that idea at all!!! They bullied the fuck out of the featherfins!!!! I had to pull them out!!! Fucking crazy!! Never ever seen that before. & my pleco just sat back & was like these fools!!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 lol!!! Crazy.....
Think I have one of those however he doesn't have the extended feather finnage on his dorsal fin.
I just bought one of these 2 days ago, and he overtook the wooodcave from my spotted, and after that he took over the hiding spot from my raphael cat. But he's sweet to watch and is busy cleaning the whole tank.
Sweet fiish, and he brought life back to my catfish tank!
Do you know if theres any wayy to see if its a male or a female?
Just out of curiosity.
Yes mind bullied the other cats in my tank too. As for sexing, their are no visible signs as males and females look alike, probably the only way to know for sure is to vent it which would be a nightmare
Wow! He's very amazing! And huge... Good info about stocking this fish Darius. Well done
Thanks AJk!
nice , he sure doesnt have a appetite problem lol.
i have a vid of my catfish up on my youtube i thinks its a synodontis eupterus,but not totally sure
Lol, you see that belly! I'll check out yours
Why my feather fin is attacking my other one pls tell me if u know I have 2 in my 2.5feet tank
They are aggressive and territorial towards their own kind so its best you either keep a group so that they can build a proper hierarchy or just keep one
@@dwsdarius ok thanks bud I definitely buy a new 2.5feet tank
5 animals and hiding places!!!!
That is not a healthy fish in my opinion sorry dude. It’s too obese. Humans arnt the only ones with health problems from obesity. Cool tank tho
I have to of these there so amazing to watch makes me laugh when i feed floating food and they swim upside down alomg the surface eating
Thanks, Yeah everyone loves to see him eating because of how he swims upside down at the surface!
dwsdarius its not something people see everyday lol mine can get pretty aggressive though
i have 10 of them
They must look awesome together! I picked up another last week!
could i put a featherfin catfish in an outdoor pond?
If the temps stay above 74F, yes...if you live in colder climates you could leave it in the pond only in summer; but I can imagine that these wouldn't be easy fish to re catch!
Holy intro... cool vid though
Lol, thanks...I dropped it a few videos down
I have two of these guys, only 4 inches so quite young I presume and they hide all day (Which is fine I do not mind) but as they get bigger do they get out and about more?
Yes mine hid a lot as well but a 6" started getting bold
Hows they doing symbo?
Great video. In one of my 75's, I have a synodontis called the synodontis schall. I got it from my lfs a couple of years ago and didnt know anything about it, neither did the lfs. The lfs had said that someone had donated it to them. I dont see anyone selling this catfish or care for this catfish. Is this a rare or uncommon catfish in the US?
Yes its pretty rare. Probably was wild caught because had it been captive breed I'm sure there would be more info about it
i have 7 of them on hold at the lfs as well as about 25 Australian rainbowfish im waiting to get my 180 so i have a tank to put them in but ive been so busy i havent been able to finish the stand and canopy for it lol i also got them to get me about 15 potted amazon swords and im talking to them about a flower horn cichlid thai silk is what im really wanting
so i guess the stock list in the and will probably wind up being
7 feather fins
25 Aussie rainbows
1 flower horn
might raise a jardini in there till hes big enough to survive in the indoor pond with the snapping turtle but idk about that so lets go with with the top 3 only shall we do you think thats to crowded
Sounds awesome! At first it worried me about the rainbows and flowerhorn, but rainbows are pretty fast so they should be able to escape a hungry flowerhorn, other than that sounds awesome!
Man why is it so big? Yeah there are reports that they can live up to 25 years. I have one myself.
Yeah he was over weight
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS lol
Nice fish and nice large tank!
OMGoodness, just look at that belly!! lol He eats good, huh. I just got two Raphael and one of these Eupterus cats, I LOVE them!! Thanks so much for sharing. Take good care of you and yours.
Thank you, yes mine was over weight...but has an amazing personality!
Look at that belly of the beast!
Lol, yeah he was a fat one!
what clean up crew would you recommend for an African cichlid tank ?
Depends on your tank size because some of the following get big: mostly any type of synodontis catfish like the one in this video, synodontis multipunctatus is very common with these fish. In my tank I have clown loaches, and they are doing well together, and I also have a bristle nose pleco to help clean up algae, they don't get too big which is good because they don't produce as much waste as the bigger ones. Keep in mind that a cleanup crew isn't needed with African cichlids, as they do a great job eating ALL the food you put in even sifting threw the substrate for crumbs....but I know adding a mix of fish is always fun so those are the common choices!
+dwsdarius it's a 55 gallon tank I have 2 clown loaches already I used to have two catfish but my African cichlids as baby cichlids ate them up so I never got anymore of them.
Well with clown loaches, the more the better. I would just give the clowns a school of at least 4-5 individuals in that size tank, then they will be more comfortable, thus more active in the tank!
nice video bro, i am actually thinking of getting one of these guys as well..wonder if they will do well with bichirs and asian arowana.
Thanks, they are territorial at times so you might get some fighting with the bichirs, but nothing too serious I don't think....and the aro should be okay too!
they will go good together as long as the Asian arrowana and the bichir isn't to big and make sure to feed them EVERY DAY because I have one myself with an 9in ornate bichir and they are almost best friends.
+dwsdarius okay cool, I have just gotten another species of squeaker cat to test out..so far the three weeks been okay
That's my fav fish! Can you tell me any more detailed info on this fish? I couldn't find hardly any detailed info on or even a documentary on this catfish. Who do you think would be tank mate's?
These catfish are awesome! They can tolerate a lot of tank mates from peaceful fish (as long as they are not too small like neon tetra may be too small) African cichlids and American cichlids. Just watch them around other catfish because they can be aggressive towards them. Other than that they are very easy to care for, they eat just about anything, they grow fast, and look cool!
I have one too she is very healthy and she dominates the aquarium. She’ll mostly interrupts two chubby plecos when they're fighting over the tasty food causing them/one to swim away to the other part of the aquarium where they have pleco pellets and ignore eachother. He's about 4 years old and will seek contact if you put your hand in the water while cleaning. She eats mostly normal pellets when she gobbles up whole and she eats some tubifex every week and sometimes skeeto larvea if that isn't enough she will eat tetra flakes or the pleco pellets.
These fish have so much personality...I miss mine!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS would they do good in a 55 gallon or are they a. Solo fish
Cool looking fish! But what is his belly thick!!
Maybe he should get on a exercise regime for 2015
and you should give him up for a fish-sport-school :)
Thanks...lol yes he's always had that pop belly!
Yeah he look like my Hoplosternum he also got a big belly when I feed him a load and now he is also over 12 years so is getting old belly fat like yours :)
My Feather Fin Catfish sometimes chases my Clown loaches,,is it alright if I keep it with them???
I have 2 of these guys one of them is about same size as yours the other is about half the size the big one is proper greedy I put a bloodworm icecube in other day and he just swam up and ate it in one my poor other fish didn't get a look in lol
Lol...yes these fish can be hogs!
I have 4 featherfin and all of mine twitch, an act like they are having seizes why do they do this?
Probably something to do with water quality, how's your temp, pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels? Do any of the other fish in your tank do it?
How big was this guy?
Just over 8 inches
I think that’s a female, they tend to get that pot belly look
how big dose they get
'
They can reach about 12 inches...mine was 8 inches
ok thx
I have a pair male and female. The female is fat like yours while the male is longer and not anywhere near as fat.
Well I suppose mine was a female too!
This is a Female
