I would like to see a better picture of the humeral process(the area behind the gills)for my own personal interest.

Regardless this is a fairly common hybrid...better colored than the ones here

I would prepare for a fish that has the potential size of a but the personality/behaviour could be variable.

is sometimes called that among many other things like jaguar syno etc. It is the most common hybrid.

Yours is as Birger says most likely

Purple words are links to datasheets. From there you can find all synodontis species datasheets and all their descriptions.

Do you see a difference in the photos? There is some variability.

Valentine syno is the common name for , so they are both the same thing. Check the names section in the cat-elog.
