I recently bought a used tank that came with a catfish. I am having trouble identifying it and learning a lot about catfish in the process.

I have attached a picture. Looks like a pictus or a Pimelodus, but would like your opinion on it.

I really don't know my Synodontis, but it looks similar to Synodontis ocellifer. These fish are hybridized a lot now in the pet trade so it could be a hybrid.

Well its for sure a synodontis! It doesn`t look like any species im familiar with exept ocellifer but it doesn`t look right. It is a great possibility that its a hybrid, but we will let the real experts id it!

That looks like a Synodontis ocellifer hybrid.
