Hey. I have four WC synodontis from Magara. I've been doing some reading on the differences between multipunctatus and grandiops, and I'm not sure which my group fall under. I'm leaning towards grandiops however. I have not been able to get a conclusive photo of the pectoral rays.
They are over 3 years old for sure and that's not including the time in the wild. They're only 3.5-4 inches in total length.
Here's some older pics.
Cheers,
Nick

Re: Synodontis multipunctatus or grandiops!?
Although i can't see the pectoral ray count clearly which gives a positive ID (as indicated by Silurus), it looks to be grandiops. With the eye size 80% of the snout length (32/40*100)this would also indicate Grandiops (data taken from the initial pic)
