🐟 Synodontis petricola – Pygmy Leopard Catfish for Sale

The Synodontis petricola, commonly known as the Pygmy Leopard Catfish, is a small, attractive African catfish native to Lake Tanganyika. Its creamy-tan body covered in bold black leopard-like spots and active nature make it a favorite for African cichlid tanks and community aquariums. Peaceful, hardy, and social, this species thrives in groups and is known for its playful midwater swimming—unlike many bottom-dwelling catfish. Synodontis petricola is also a popular choice for Tanganyikan biotope setups due to its size, beauty, and compatibility.
