Golden Nigrita Synodontis Catfish - Synodontis nigrita – Gold Morph - Live Fish
Golden Nigrita Synodontis Catfish (Synodontis nigrita – Gold Morph)
The Golden Nigrita Synodontis Catfish is a stunning and uncommon variant of the classic Synodontis nigrita, prized for its warm golden-yellow body and active, quirky personality. Known for swimming upside down and exploring every corner of the tank, this catfish adds both color and character to freshwater aquariums.
Native to West Africa, this gold morph thrives in tropical aquariums with temperatures of 74–80°F and a pH between 6.5–7.5. It prefers dim lighting, soft substrate, and plenty of hiding spots like caves, driftwood, and rockwork. Reaching 6–9 inches when fully grown, the Golden Nigrita is a peaceful bottom-dweller and a great companion in community tanks with medium to large non-aggressive species.
Ideal for hobbyists looking for something unique, this Synodontis not only beautifies your tank but also helps keep it clean by scavenging uneaten food and detritus.
At Rockland Aquarium, we make sure every fish is healthy, active, and eating well before being sold, so you can buy with confidence.
