Synodontis batesi

Post by pnoy702 »

Does anyone have any knowledge in keeping these synos? I think we got some at work from Poseidon, but they are labeled as Synodontis batendosi or something like weird like that. I don't know if it is the same and the distributor has wrong species labeling on them (who doesn't? haha) but they do look like the pics of Syn. batesi. Thanks.

Silurus, now that you posted up that link, that is them. Sheesh, why do some catfish have to look like one thing or another? But yup. Didn't even look at the Brachysynodontis genus listings. In the invoice, all it showed was just Synodontis. Thanks!
