Re: Grey with big black spots? Who is this chap?
I have to disagree with Ocellifer as the ID. The adipose doesn't seem deep enough & the body spots look too prolific with some less rounded spots. Fully spotted Ocellifer (as opposed to spotless, partially spotted or ocellated variants) tend to have very rounded spots. A good side on photo would...

It does look like a multi but a square on side photo would enable an accurate measure of eye size as a proportion of snout length to help confirm this

As I posted above, this fish has a white leading edge/hard spine to the dorsal & pectorals - only Lucipinnis & Petricola (&hybrids) exhibit this.

Re: A good catfish for a planted community tank?
The black ghost knife is a poor choice as it will eat small fish & grows to 20 inches.

Re: Synodontis Polli
Are these the photos from Facebook?
They are definitely NOT Polli as it doesn't have a hard white spine on the dorsal/pectorals.
These are all Petricola variations

Re: banjo cat/Bunocephalus coracoideu?
They are certainly banjo catfish - they might appreciate a sandy substrate more as they like to burrow & that gravel wont allow them to do what comes naturally. Failing that they often hide in leaf litter so you could add dead oak or beech leaves - in your part of the world you'd have to check i...

Re: How long does it take to stunt a juvinalie pleco?
Hi Michael Welcome to PC Sounds like the tank is vastly overstocked (with bottom feeders) currently along with species that will interbreed (L333 & L046) & directly outcompete some others, & close to maximum stocking in total, without room for growth. Each 3.5" pleco really needs a ...

Wow, what a beautiful beast. S. melanostictus looks closest. Interesting to see angelicus bullied for a change. One of the smaller synos under the log looks like a ornatipinnis or decorus and/or ornatipinnis hybrid. What a menagerie, but makes for great 'fishporn' at any rate. The fish under the lo...

Re: Syno Angelicus... have we made a terrible mistake?
Most large adult synos are 'opportunistic' - in that they might eat small fish although they are not going to actively look to eat them. This includes Angelicus so as mentioned above , it is a gamble. Also, what water conditions do you have. For a rift tank I'd stick with rift synos. Riverine specie...
