Featherfin Synodontis
The Featherfin Squeaker (Synodontis Eupterus) or Featherfin Synodontis are a species of Synodontis catfish. Their ability to make noises to communicate with one another and their high feather-like fin give them their name.
The Featherfin Squeakers inhabit much of Central Africa and can be mainly found in the basins of the White Nile, Volta and Niger Rivers, and the Chad basin.
They are fairly large, reaching 11.8 inches (30 cm) in the wild and 6-8 inches in an aquarium. Therefore, they require a decent-sized aquarium, preferably over 50 gallons, with lots of hiding places, particularly driftwood. Water in the tank should be of temperature 72.0 °F to 81.0 °F (22.2 °C to 27.2°C) and pH of 5.6 to 7.5.
Featherfin Squeakers are not aggressive but aren’t necessarily peaceful either and can therefore be termed as semi-aggressive. They pose little risk to small fish, and there is species internal bullying, which is rarely life-threatening but could cause stress.
