Hello new here,
Wondering which syno this may actually be.
This photo was taken in one of the rivers that flows into Lake Tanganyika.
Thanks

Nice fish and love the habitat pics. I always think it's fascinating to see where the fish actually come from. Keep 'em coming!

Have moved this post to the Traveller's forum as while it was in a perfectly good place, it seems to me to be more suited here. FWIW, I agree with Birger's ID.
Cheers,
Jools

And we should have photo of the fish and it's habitat in the Cat-eLog.

Thats a beautiful Synodontis! I love my multies but if I had room for another species he's on top of that wish list.

The water in the river is muddy and therefore low Viz.
Out in the lake away from the river mouth the water can be very clear at times - depends on the time of year. Right now its raining pretty hard most days so the water Viz has gotten pretty low. Around October is the best time for clarity underwater.

To clarify, johnjohn has mentioned the river in the above images is the Lufubu River in Zambia.
