True Cuckoo Squeaker Catfish Synodontis Multipunctatus 4cm

Overview: The True Cuckoo Squeaker Catfish, scientifically known as Synodontis Multipunctatus, is a fascinating and unique addition to the aquarium. Renowned for its striking patterns and intriguing behaviors, this species is a must-have for enthusiasts looking to add diversity to their aquatic habitats. Its ability to emit a ‘squeaking’ sound when disturbed makes it an interesting conversation starter.

Origin: Native to the fresh waters of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa, Synodontis Multipunctatus thrives in a habitat characterized by rocky substrates and caves. This environment should be mimicked in the aquarium setting to ensure the well-being of the fish.

Feeding: The True Cuckoo Squeaker Catfish is omnivorous with a preference for a varied diet. It should be fed a mix of high-quality sinking pellets, frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp, and vegetable matter. This varied diet helps maintain their health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates: When selecting tank mates, opt for species that are peaceful yet can hold their own. Ideal companions include larger tetras, cichlids (particularly those from Lake Tanganyika), and other Synodontis species. Avoid overly aggressive fish that may bully or stress your catfish.

Aggression: Generally peaceful, the True Cuckoo Squeaker Catfish exhibits minimal aggression towards other species. However, they can become territorial with members of their own kind or similar-looking species, especially in smaller tanks.

Experience Level: This species is recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists. The need to replicate its natural habitat and maintain high water quality makes it less suitable for beginners.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 75-81°F (24-27°C)
  • pH: 7.8-9.0
  • Hardness: 8-20 dGH

Maintaining stable water conditions is crucial to ensure the health and longevity of your Synodontis Multipunctatus. Regular water changes and monitoring of water parameters are recommended to mimic their natural Lake Tanganyika environment.

In summary, the True Cuckoo Squeaker Catfish offers both beauty and intrigue to the discerning aquarist. With proper care, diet, and tank mates, it can be a delightful and rewarding addition to any aquarium.
