Anti-migratory catfish
The anti-migratory catfish, also known as Synodontis, is native to Lake Tangaike, Lake Victoria, Lake Malawi, Lake Nigeria, Lake Niger and the Sai River system in Africa. The adult body length of this fish is 5 to 40 cm, which meets the water temperature of 23 to 28°C, the total hardness (gH) of the water quality: 6 to 11 dGH, and the pH: 6.5 to 8.5.
Anti-migratory catfish belongs to the genus Synodontis of the family Synodontidae. Due to their common origin, their species, body color, body shape, and size vary greatly. For the time being, they can be roughly divided into two categories according to their existence: "river-type anti-migratory catfish" and "lake-type anti-migratory catfish".
River-type anti-migratory catfish are mainly distributed in Lake Nigeria, Lake Niger and Sai River in West Africa. Rare species include "Synodontis angelicus" and "Synodontis schoutedeni". This type of species has extremely strong adaptability, has low requirements on water quality, and can survive, grow and grow well in weakly alkaline to weakly acidic waters.
Lake-type anti-migratory catfish are mainly distributed in Lake Tangoike, Lake Malawi and Lake Victoria in West Africa. Rare species include "Synodontis nyassae" and "Victorian cat (Synodontis victoriac)". This type of species has higher requirements for the water environment, requiring the water to be alkaline and relatively hard, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
Regardless of whether the river-type anti-migratory catfish or the lake-type anti-migratory catfish, their feeding habits are not much different. They are all omnivorous fish and can eat algae, aquatic plants, small fish and shrimps, insects and novel live bait, and they can also eat humans. Bo used feed.
Anti-migratory catfish have a habit of fighting. Therefore, in the breeding environment, more rocks, tree roots or heavy trees should be set up as necessary hiding places. Migratory catfish are susceptible to white spot disease, and water quality control should usually be strengthened to prevent gradual changes or reversals in water quality.
The reason why it is named anti-swimming catfish is probably because it is different from other fishes and does the opposite. It is good at backstroke, swims fast and has a weird appearance, so it has always been popular among aquarium enthusiasts. favorite.
