Remove some rock cover, reduce water temperature to about 74F, decrease

I've tried that, I wouldn't mind so much but I have seen at least 15 in
the
5ft, I have about 50 in the fish room and I took 45 to my local shop 2
weeks
ago.
will a pictus cat be ok with synodontis? cause i have 2 of those in the
tank


No problem I can envision. Pictus are non-stop vacuum cleaners on

I've had them in 8.4pH mbuna tanks. They just need lots of roaming room,

5

feet is good.

thanks for that, i'll give it a go


Mine are prolofic breeders as well but I haven't got to your stage. I'm
wondering if the Plec keeps the numbers down - he never feeds on
anything other than what is in the tank even if offered....

If it does become a problem I will also consider the pictus
