A hybrid Synodontis sp.?

Post by Aura »

I had this juvie synodontis identified as a type of hybrid sp.(?), but the site it was posted on is gone now and I cannot remember which sp# it was. :oops: The closest I can come up with is Synodontis sp.(1). It has grown quite a bit now, so here are a few pics.

As a juvie.

Growing up - the one on the right.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, this is a hybrid. Looks like an attempt to create something like
Synodontis velifer
.

Okay, thank you. It's a nice fish that gets along great with my eupterus - they are almost always together when they are out and about.
