Im quite sure its a hybrid, but i`ll leave that to the real syno guys! Even though it might be a hybrid it is a stunning fish!
"Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self."

As mentioned, this is a hybrid...juveniles of ornatipinnis this size should be banded much like the fish in picture 1 of
Synodontis ornatipinnis
, as they mature the dark bands break up.
