Blue Turushuki Catfish (Synodontis sp. “Turushuki”) Overview: A rare and attractive African catfish known for its bluish sheen and active personality. Belongs to the Synodontis fam ily, often called upside-down catfish Temperament: Semi-aggressive Can be territorial with other bottom dwellers but usually fine in larger community setups Tank Size: 55+ gallons recommended Water Parameters: Temperature: 75–82°F pH: 6.5–7.8 Moderate hardness Diet: Omnivore Sinking pellets Frozen foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp) Occasional veggies Behavior: Nocturnal / most active at night May swim upside down (common Synodontis trait) Likes caves, driftwood, and hiding spots Tank Setup: Sand or smooth substrate Plenty of hiding places (rocks, caves, wood) Dim lighting preferred Compatibility: Works with medium to large fish Avoid very small fish (may get eaten) Avoid overly aggressive tankmates Breeding: Very rare in home aquariums; mostly wild-caught or limited captive breeding If you want, I can compare it to other Synodontis species you might want to sell (like Petricola or Multipunctatus)—those sell faster usually.
