Re: What type of spotted Syno is this?

so hard to find true synodontis this days :( if they r from far east only God knows what they r :(
if you will be looking for pure breed Syno,you have to pay highier price,like £15-25 for S.multipunctatus in UK at 3-4inch
i used to had something like yours before :thumbsup:
