Hybrid Syno...Info needed...

[chralis]

Does anybody have any info on this little guy( http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... es_id=2112 )... Like how big will he get etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

I am not sure what the other syno was that was used but I would say prepare for it to be similar to

Synodontis decora

These seem to have a high percentage of decora traits and I would suspect size to be one of them.

Moved to African Catifshes, as it is 99.9% sure that both parents are African in origin.

I would agree with Birger - it is likely to behave much like a S. decora. But until someone has kept one for many years, we can't really know.

I totally agree with the above comments - i have seen these at a lfs at 7" TL which leads me to suspect that these are faster growing than a genuine decora but will certainly achive decora sizes

in the philippines, this is being sold as synodontis valentiana. it's very much similar to the decorus, but the head and tail pattern is different. i am not quite sure how big this fish grows. i have one that's about 5 inches now.
