Hemisynodontis membracenea
make a great pet fish....grow quite large for home aquaria
Synodontis Clarias
quite rambunctious, not a great choice but for the specialist
Synodontis Robertsi..
A great fish in a group and for community tank...a nice size for home aquaria

#1 Hemisynodontis membracenea: unique look, but a very specialized diet would make keeping a challange
#2 Synodontis Robertsi: Beautiful and nice size for smaller aquaria too
#3 Synodontis Clarias: Nice sized and good looking
