They ain't

Synodontis multipunctatus

by the lack of white in the barbles and fins but I don't know really what they are - need better pics I am afraid.

[Zebadee]

Looks like a (nicely patterned) hybrid to me.

[Richard B]

One of the better looking hybrids i think....this particular one

Synodontis sp_hybrid(1)

is becoming more prevalent in the UK

In the U.K. this fish is Synodontis 'species' Tiger. Another 'friend' from the Czech Republic.
