i have a question i have a range of tropical fish and have 2 pretty big upside down catfish..i heard they are not aggressive at all but for some strange reason one keeps biting the part before the tail of my bronze corydora and you can see where its bit it turned a bit white and fleshy..any idea why? they been in there for months and ive never seen a problem until recent.

@xxboweezyda2ndxx - I dont think your fish is a true upside down catfish, there are a few Synodontis catfish sold under the name upside down catfish but it is the nigriventris that is the true fish and is very peaceful, have a look at Synodontis nigrita or Mystus Leucophasis and see if either of these match your fish.

@MadDuff01 do they naturaly have white spots on them cause i wanna buy one and i know what ich look like but the lady in the store said they naturaly have spots but the thing about there spots is there not bulding out like ich there more like inside the skin but idk they form like 3 line but there are no spots at the fins so is that natural
