I have three of these guys. I think they might be a hybrid of s.eupterus and s.nigriventus.

They are a hybrid and one of the parents is S. eupterus. But I think the other is likely to be some Lake Tanganyikan species.

Cute syno but yes, a mutt, perhaps of this kind http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... ies_id=696

I don't think euptera x nigriventris, two of the cheapest synos, would be high on the list of the "hybridizers" as they strive to produce look-alikes of more expensive and rare synos but it is not impossible, I imagine.
