Help identify my catfish

Post by Siummerino »

Hi, is anyone able to identify which kind of synodontis my fish is? I have been trying to find out myself but I just can't, there are so many species of synodontis similar to him that seem all the same.
If anyone can tell which kind of synodontis he is, how do you recognise its specie?
Ps. Sorry for my bad English 😔

Welcome to the Planet!

It's the most common hybrid, man-made fish, of synodontis of this kind. Appearance is variable a bit: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/sp ... ies_id=602

As Viktor already said it is a hybrid. And it is a hybrid between Synodontis eupterus and S. multipunctatus.

Or, more likely, S. grandiops.
