Help IDing this 6" Synodontis
Last water change I took it out and its roughly 6". LFS had him labeled as S.eupterus but they were not even sure. Ive been looking at the sites pictures of S.eupterus and it seems a bit off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It appears to be a hybrid. Possibly a Synodontis eupterus & Synodontis grandiops cross.

That looks exactly like my hybrid "Bullitt", a hybrid of and I am assuming a Rift Lake species.
Handsome fish. Mine is the same size as my Featherfin, and he is quite, er, "robust"
. He coloration is a very deep, slightly metallic golden brown.
