🐟 Pyjama Catfish – (Synodontis flavitaeniatus) – Striped Upside-Down Catfish for Sale

The Pyjama Catfish (Synodontis flavitaeniatus) is a beautifully patterned Synodontis species from the Congo River Basin in Central Africa, prized for its bold horizontal stripes and peaceful temperament. Its name comes from its “striped pajama” appearance—contrasting dark and light bands running the length of its body.

Known for its upside-down swimming behavior and adaptability, the Pyjama Catfish is a hardy, long-lived species that thrives in community tanks with similarly sized tankmates.
