I worked part time for desert pet center in Tucson, Az. about 10 years ago when the store got in a synodontis robertsi. I was active duty air force at the time and could not keep a tank going due to mobility commitments. I am now out of the military and living in south florida. I would very much like to aquire a robertsi for my home aquarium. Do you now of any suppliers in my area that would have one?

I noticed earlier that you asked for info on the robertsi. I wouldn't know where you could get one (unless you know a fish importer maybe).

Thanks for the info. I have since been told that s. Robertsi doesn't do well with african cichlids because the cichlids are to aggressive. Is this true?
