Mixing Species

[misterted]

Would it be wise to mix 6 Synodontis Lucipinnis with 4 Synodontis Multipunctatus?

Or better yet, would it work? Even if it isn't wise?

I have seen both juvenile synodontis multipunctatus and juvenile synodontis petricolas kept together in the same tank. However, the multipunctatus will eventually grow to about 11" as compared to 4.5" for the petricolas. I have never seen adults of both species kept together.

Multi's grow to about 6".

In a 265g their size wouldn't matter.
Now I'm thinking. A friend of mine has 4 Multies.
Hmmmmmm.....

They are fine together, I had 6 Lucipinnis and 5 Multipunctatus together since I bought the multis from you misterted. They were in a 125G with mbuna. According to planetcatfish, those numbers would even have been OK together in the 75G, but I split them up at Thanksgiving since I had capacity in another tank.
