As their name implies, Upside Down Catfish (Synodontis nigriventris) spend most of their time swimming upside down. Swimming in this manner allows them to see approaching predators, as well as feed on the underside of leaves and insect larvae on the water’s surface. Not a fussy eater, they can be fed most any food but, for optimal health, should be given meaty foods such as bloodworms or black worms on occasion.

Native to the Central Congo Basin of Africa, they have a gentle demeanor, which makes them good tank mates with most non-aggressive species, and they are very sociable; therefore, can be kept in shoals of 5 or more fish. Kept this way, also allows them to be observed swimming around out in the open more often.

SHIPPING POLICY... Live Arrival Guaranteed if you follow these steps:

Shipping is very stressful for fish so they must be attended to right away.
Open the box and inspect your fish within 4 hours of delivery.
If one of your new fish appears dead, or sick, you must take clear pictures and/or video of it in the unopened bag.
You must then e-mail us those pictures/video, and a description of the problem within that 4 hour time frame.
Once the bag is opened, and the fish released, we are not in control and any warranty is null.
If your claim is valid, we will offer you a replacement, or store credit, in the amount paid for that fish. Please note that shipping costs will not be refunded and, if an exchange for another fish of equal value is preferred, the buyer will be responsible for the shipping costs.

*** Arrive Alive Guarantee only applies to Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air. We recomend Next day air when temperatures are above 100 F or below 35 F. ***

** DISREGARD EBAY SHIPPING TIMES... in order to avoid fish being stranded in a warehouse over the weekend somewhere, we only ship Monday and Tuesday.

In the event of freezing weather we will give you the option of cancelling your order, or waiting for warmer temperatures for us to ship it. Make sure your shipping address is entered correctly. We ship to the address you provide and we are not responsible for any orders going to the wrong address due to wrong information.
