i saw a Upside down catfish in my LFS the other day. Its not a syno nigriventis. It was about 8" and wsa listed as a Upside down synodontis. It was all black and looks similiar to a Mystus Leucophasis. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be.

It could be a Mystus after all.

If not, maybe or .

it isnt a syno. I am pretty sure it is a Mystus now. i forgot to mention it had big Long barbels like a pictus. Th eonly thin gi cant quite recall is if it had Silver on it

many "leucophasis" lack the white spots and are just jet black.

There's only 1 Syno with truly long whiskers (pictus style), that's S alberti; a light colored spotted fish with very big eyes.
rare in the trade as well, for reasons unknown to me.

Yup its a mystus. WOuld it last in a 55 for a few months with mostly 4" until i can move it to a 75?
