have two juveniles only about an inch now. sure if they are Synodontis Eupterus? OR
Synodontis nigriventris? OR ? which makes me nervous because was grows to only 4 inches and the other to almost a foot and I only have a 75 gallon tank. anyone know?

Looks like eupterus baby coloration in transition from stripes to spots but I don't trust myself.

I'm pretty sure you are correct Viktor, I think it will look "normal" in a few more weeks.

I agree. I think they'll change to normal with a bit of time. Don't get too nervous.
