littleextra Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Hi! I was so excited to find this forum. I've had aquariums in years past, but am just now getting back into the hobby thanks to a rescue fish. Long story short, my husband and I thought we were rescuing a "normal" upside down catfish (synodontis nigriventris) turns out we got an Asian/Burmese upside down catfish ( mystus leucophasis). We were definitely not familiar with this guy, and have been doing a ton of research. Unfortunately, there's not too much out there. Right now he's our only fish in a 75 gallon tank. Not sure how old he is, but the fish hater (who was about to flush him) said they had had him for a couple of years. He's only about 4 inches at this point. Anyway, looking forward to talking with some of y'all--hoping to find out more about him, get some ideas of tank mates in the future, etc. Wish I could get a picture, but I rarely see him as it is--he comes out only when all lights (even room lights) are off. Take care! Edited September 6, 2021 by littleextra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
