Seen and photographed in pet store. Quite a striking Synodontis. Not sure of species, but don't believe I've seen it before. Any guesses as to its ID?

Synodontis frontosus?

I'm 70% sure it's S. eburneensis. Can't completely rule out S. bastiani, though.

Not making good use of Poll, I see.

Yes, I think that makes sense.

However, isn't S. eburneensis a junior synonym of S. bastiani?

Synodontis bastiani, Synonym(s): Synodontis eburneensis, Synodontis dageti

Do you have any other pics, he looks like this unidentified syno that I have.

I have a similar syno to this, about 10 inches long with a single large spot down each side. Big eyes, this gregarious fish seems to love rubbing up against large silver dollars and tinfoil barbs. Cannot find a definitive name anywhere. LFS labelled simply as syno, and that's a store with a good catfish reputation!! Thriving in a 65 gallon tank though, so am happy with things generally.

Scottydog,

Your fish is probably Synodontis notatus.

Thank you very much. 2 years I've had the boy and it took 15 mins to id. Do you by any chance know how big he'll grow...?

About 10.5" (265 mm).

Nearly there then!!
