Sorry, one more.

Either or S. ilebrevis.

I bought him as a polit but he doesn't look anything like my other 2 and he seems more aggressive. Can all 3 be the same though they look different.

The spots are more widely spaced on your new fish, so this may be S. ilebrevis after all. The only way to be 100% sure (measuring the relative length of gut) would kill the fish, though.

Okay. Give me a sec.

Just kidding. I'll take it as a maybe , very dark, allmost black aggessive polit. Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I agree with Silurus that your dark Synodontis could certainly appear to represent S. ilebrevis.

Thanks for your help. Can't find any pic's of this breed any where either. I'mg oing to move him as he is aggressive and while breeding probably wo'thappen for me I don't want any hybrids. He is nasty.

Thanks for sharing the behavioral observations on your Syno black. Sounds like a tough cookie.

Like with your other recently described species, this is a "new species", so it's not got much data.

Photos sent to webmaster at planetcatfish dot com will probably be appreciated, and any data you can add to that can be posted in the "bugs and suggestions forum" (the reason I suggest that particular forum is that Jools and others are scanning that in particular for things that need "fixing" in the Cat-eLog or elsewhere, and when it's fixed, it goes to the "resolved" forum. In other forums, it may get lost and not updated!)

All of the above posts seem quite reasonable. I think it is unlikely that you'll get hybrids if these individuals were to stay together but moving an aggressor is a sensible move.

Do you have a side view photo of the fish picture top left in the trio? the head shape seemed a little out of character for the species we were discussing.

Real nice fish - all of them. keep us posted on your progress

You are killing me with these great looking new species. Hopefully some will show up in my neck of the woods.

Thanks for the nice photos. Good luck with these.

3 more photos of the black. I would love to get him into the gallery if it is confirmed as a newer species. Is it better if I take photos in the water of him. May get a buddy to take better pictures if there is an interest as I am crappy at it. I'll get a couple of more of the one that was in the top left, RichardB

Hi Richard. Here are 3 more pic's of the top left one I believe. This better be a polli or somerthing I have heard of.. HeHe.

These are interesting threads you have going here,some shots in the water would be great if at all possible

did I get burnt on the price? I paid $25.00 each for them

if you paid this for each of the fish in question in both threads you did okay....more than okay!!!

This is syno no. 3 ( top right in the net) which I assume is also a polli. I will get my friend over for some water shots if wanted.. Mine don't come out too well. Sorry about that.
