Ah yes, the good old cuckoo catfish, Synodontis multipunctatus
Dwarf cichlids = more personality per inch than just about any other fish (maybe even animal) that you'll ever have as a pet

No quite, because you'll end up with Synodontis fry, instead of cichlid fry, which are more difficult to raise, or so I've heard.

I saw that video a while ago & I to heard about it before, but never saw it till that video. Watching my cute Synodontis Multipunctatis & Petricolas I would never guess they would do that either, but looks are decieving!
My large female Multi layed a clutch of eggs just over a month ago but didn't make it.

Yeah, all catfish will basically be DRAWN to eggs / fry.
A little heads up, these guys will also eat the eggs once laid and relay their eggs on same spot to get cichlids to care for them, its a syn trade and one of the ways of getting them to breed.Monster Cats - Small cats
