What's my catfish ?

[James.feenan]

As above what are these ?

[slayer5590]

looks to be

Synodontis sp_hybrid(5)

[Birger]

I would like to see a better picture of the humeral process(the area behind the gills)for my own personal interest.

Regardless this is a fairly common hybrid...better colored than the ones here

Synodontis sp_hybrid(5)

Is there any more info on these little lads where do they come from ?

[Birger]

Have a read here http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =8&t=28659

I would prepare for a fish that has the potential size of a

Synodontis decora

but the personality/behaviour could be variable.

Someone else after telling me these are synodontis valentiana how can you tell the difference between both ?

[Viktor Jarikov]

Synodontis sp_hybrid(1)

is sometimes called that among many other things like jaguar syno etc. It is the most common hybrid.

Yours is as Birger says most likely

Synodontis sp_hybrid(5)

Purple words are links to datasheets. From there you can find all synodontis species datasheets and all their descriptions.

Do you see a difference in the photos? There is some variability.

Someone else after telling me these are synodontis valentiana how can you tell the difference between both ?

Valentine syno is the common name for

Synodontis sp_hybrid(5)

, so they are both the same thing. Check the names section in the cat-elog.

Perhaps Racoll is right. Regardless, yours is #5.
