Hi everybody. Hear again to identify another catfish with your help. I have difficulty with the different species of Synodontis. I think this is S. ornatus, but your opinion will be appreciated.

The fish measures about 10 cms. long




Thanks in advance.

Definitely NOT Synodontis ornatus. Probably juvenile S. eupterus.

Dinyar

That's S. eupterus all right.

Thanks, Dinyar and Silurus.

It is too big to be considered a juvenile, (probably is more near to 15 cms. than 10 cms.), but I agree with eupterus.

I can't see the pic?

Ah, the old "post a pic, get it identified and then rename it without chaning the original link" trick.

Have a look at http://atlas.drpez.org/view_photo.php?s ... rus&id=aaa

Jorge, BTW, the Pseudoplatystoma corruscans on that site is actually a Sorubimichthys planiceps.

Jools

Thanks, Jools. Very kind of you to put an eye in the site

I'm sure it was identified at the public Genova's Aquarium as a P. corruscans, but I'm sure you have more experience. I will check it.

I fix the link of the photo (sorry, it happened exactly as Jools said).

Thanks again!!!!!!

Is it the camera angle or has that fish got a short nose? Nice all the same.

I thought this but its been identified aparently.
