The Dwarf Synodontis Catfish is known from the Ivindo and Ntem drainages in Cameroon and Gabon, and from the Campo, Lobe, Nyong, and Sanaga rivers in Cameroon. Old records purporting to be from the Congo basin are likely to be another species, possibly M. christyi. The aquarium should be spacious with a soft sandy substrate in order to protect the sensory barbels.
