Pygmy Catfish Synodontis Microsynodontis Polli 3cm

Overview: The Synodontis Microsynodontis Polli, commonly known as the Pygmy Catfish, is a captivating small freshwater fish that brings a touch of intrigue to any aquarium. Renowned for its unique appearance and peaceful demeanor, this species is a favorite among aquarists looking to add diversity to their tanks.

Origin: Native to the rivers and streams of Central Africa, the Pygmy Catfish thrives in environments that replicate its natural habitat. Originating from regions like the Congo Basin, this species is accustomed to warm, slightly acidic to neutral waters.

Feeding: As an omnivore, the Pygmy Catfish has a varied diet. In the aquarium, they readily accept high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and freeze-dried foods. For optimal health, supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.

Tank Mates: This peaceful catfish is best kept with other small, non-aggressive species. Ideal tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, and other gentle bottom dwellers. Avoid housing them with large, aggressive fish that may view them as prey.

Aggression: The Synodontis Microsynodontis Polli is known for its peaceful nature and is unlikely to show aggression towards tank mates. Its gentle behavior makes it a perfect addition to a community aquarium.

Experience Level: Suitable for aquarists of all levels, the Pygmy Catfish is particularly rewarding for beginners due to its hardy nature and straightforward care requirements.

Water Parameters: To ensure the health and well-being of your Pygmy Catfish, maintain the following water parameters:

  • Temperature: 72-79°F (22-26°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH

Regular water changes and a well-filtered aquarium are essential to mimic the clean, flowing waters of their natural habitat.
