I think it's Synodontis acanthomias, can anyone confirm? It wasn't sold under any name at all:

Agree - acanthomias unless there is a species really close that that's not at all well known (?)

Two Synodontis schall, two Synodontis notatus, a Brachysynodontis batensoda, a Chrysichthys furcatus, and a pleco which thought it could conquer anything until the acanthomias came along.

I'll see if I can get a pic of the little one; it's very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
