Thanks oli, so do I.
These synodontis petricola were hard to come by as they are rarely imported and there aren't many folks around that specialize in breeding them. Apart from being strikingly patterned, they're an interesting species. It's a type of cuckoo catfish, named for the cuckoo bird that invades a nest, kicks out the inhabitants eggs, and replaces them with its own. The nest owner unwittingly raises the cuckoo bird's chicks as its own. I the case of the catfish, it only breeds in tanks with cichlids. It waits for the cichlids to lay their eggs, swims in and eats them, and lays it own in their place. The female cichlid will then safely carry the catfish eggs in her mouth until they hatch. That's why these guys can be a bit difficult to come by. Pretty cool stuff though...
