What may be Syno. ilebrevis

Re: Synodontis sp. Crocodile Island

I think that you may be on to something about the ilebrevis theory for the one fish. I have 3 more just like it.

The smaller ones are polli in my opinion its this big guy that I'm not sure about. Please share your thoughts. I kinda think it may be a p...

Re: Synodontis sp. Crocodile Island

I dont think they are polli, but I could be wrong. According to the seller these fish are already between 5-7". Which is much bigger than the average size adult polli.

Thanks for your input. Anyone else?

This pic is not my property.

Anyone every heard of these guys?

Trying to determine if they are a hybrid or just a new species.

Thoughts?

Re: Can you ID this Synodontis?

You are very specific :) Nothing wrong at all, just a first for me. You must also know your synos pretty good. Just curios (this time :) : ) is this originating in Feng shui or some such aesthetic scheme? LOL! Yes I am a bit particular about this one. If you look at the irsacae page on this site it...

Re: Can you ID this Synodontis?

I saw those but wasnt sure if I should pursue them because Im looking for a fish that will end up looking like the one in the attached photo and based on the photo on Dave's website I wasnt sure it this fish would become that.

Re: Can you ID this Synodontis?

I knew these werent Synodontis longirostris because they didnt look like them and you're absolutely right, they wouldve cost way more money than what they were asking for the fish. I have lost more money in worst ways, whats killing me is not the fact that I may have over paid for a fish, but more s...

Re: Can you ID this Synodontis?

Sure. I paid $25 each for them. They were originally $35 each. I'll keep them until they no longer appeal to me. Despite the fact that they may be a hybrid I still enjoy them. It's just a bit disappointing since I thought they might be one of the fish I have been searching for. I really would like s...

Re: Can you ID this Synodontis?

Its not a bad looking fish but I feel cheated for what I paid for them if they are in fact a hybrid. These guy definitely look like they came straight from the the lake.

Still odd to me...the long humeral,odd snout, tall dorsal, quite slim(and the name)...you are not going to find a described species that matches...as far as undescribed possibilities I have not seen or know of anything that matches. Again I like to give the benefit of the doubt but if you followed ...
