i'm asking because my little synos which I bought are starting to look like <a href="http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/mo ... .php">this one</a> and they are not petricolas for sure :(, they havent got any white stripes on their fins :( but they got white barbels :] and if i remember good there was a post some time ago and as an example for a hybrid <a href="http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/mo ... .php">this photo</a> was given :] I just cannot find that topic.

I will give them back to the shop :] in short time they get 3 times bigger!! :] they eat everything what is too slow to run away :](my panaque maccus have to work really hard now to get some vegetables - because vegetables are not very good in running away :] ) I just wonder if they are breedable is it still possible to get as their babies species from which they were created? In next month I will get digital camera so I will post some picture of them to confirm my id :] but im almost sure that they are this syno sp. (3) hybrids :(

Why give them back to the shop?
They aint going to be any more of a problem then any other syno you could get.
And yes I do have one of these cats.

well I was going to give them back because I wanted petricolas but hyhyhy "no" said owner of the shop so they are now in my tank :]. They grow a little bit and now I can see that they are truly nice fish! So no problem they stay :)

They take away space that could be used for breed-able/-worthy fishes...

yes that what I was thinking about, since petricolas and multipuncatus are really hard to get in Poland I ordered several times group of petricolas and always they give me the same hybrid :] so I give it up... I do not order petricolas anymore it just has no sence :( and this fish looks nice :] maybe any of my frineds will take them when they grow up. But I got also 3 s. eupterus :] and they are not so mad eaters like these hybrids :]
