All you Grrrr fans, Syncrossus beauforti have become available in quantity from several suppliers this week, so be on the lookout as these don't come up too often! :wink:

and the S.Helodes will pound the S.Beauforti to the same degree, these are best with Blues or as a specie set up IMHO, They are the least aggressive of the grrrrs.....IME

I've got a 6 inch one , and it has been no problem , its mixed in with some Bermorei , I'd say if you can handle Berdmorei , Beauforti are similar in behaviour !
