Mustard Catfish

Mustard Catfish

Synodontis albolineatus, or mustard cat, has broad white lines on a chocolate body, and on the edges the white turns to a mustard color. Albo lineatus in fact is Latin for “white lines”. In the wild these African catfish from Cameroon only grow to four inches, about the same in the fish tank. Synodontis albolineatus are hardy scavengers and will eat a bit of everything that falls to the bottom of the tank.
