Re: synodontis?
maybe the pix software is acting up; I see 2 fishes but no heads.....
as far as I can see without the head; this is the brichardi x decorus or brichardi x ornatipinnis hybrid.
a nice looking fish, but unfortunately the replacement for the real thing in most of the LFS, because they're a fraction of the price, but they're sold as the real stuff with the price tag of the original species
in short: rip-off scenario's by LFS and wholesale alike.

Re: synodontis?
A hybrid that is becoming increasingly available - this is the one being passed off as ornatipinnis & is being called zebra syno or some variation of this

This is some problem with ImageShack. I stopped using it because of this.sidguppy wrote:maybe the pix software is acting up; I see 2 fishes but no heads.....

Re: synodontis?
sorry about the pictures. i was hoping this would be a true ornatipinnis. the head pattern is very similar and the stripes on the tail is the same as well.
Re: synodontis?
by the way, try cliccking on quote then click expand on the topic index. you can view the fish better there. you can see the head.
