Multipunk Valentine Catfish Synodontis Valentiana 3cm

Overview: The Multipunk Valentine Catfish boasts a distinctive body pattern characterized by dark spots and stripes against a lighter backdrop, resembling a punk-inspired motif. This medium-sized fish can grow up to 6 inches in length, making it a suitable choice for various aquarium sizes.

Origin: Native to the freshwater basins of Africa, particularly in the Congo River Basin, Synodontis Valentiana thrives in a habitat rich in hiding spots and submerged vegetation. Their natural environment influences their care requirements in captivity.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, the Valentine Catfish requires a balanced diet comprising high-quality sinking pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, and occasional vegetable supplements. This varied diet helps mimic their natural foraging behavior and ensures optimal health.

Tank Mates: Being a generally peaceful species, they coexist well with other fish of similar size and temperament. Ideal tank mates include African Cichlids, larger Tetras, and Barbs. However, due to their bottom-dwelling nature, it’s crucial to avoid overly aggressive species that might outcompete them for food or territory.

Aggression: Synodontis Valentiana exhibits a peaceful demeanor towards most tank mates but can become territorial with its kind or similar-looking bottom dwellers. Adequate space and hiding spots can mitigate potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists, the Multipunk Valentine Catfish requires a bit of experience due to its specific water parameter and dietary needs. Its care level is considered moderate.

Water Parameters: To thrive, Synodontis Valentiana requires water temperatures between 75°F and 82°F, with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5. Regular water changes and a well-maintained filter are essential to replicate the clean, oxygen-rich waters of their natural habitat.

Incorporating the Multipunk Valentine Catfish into your aquarium not only adds a touch of exotic elegance but also introduces fascinating behaviors to observe. With proper care and attention to their specific needs, they make a rewarding and interesting addition to any freshwater setup.
