So...allow me to introduce myself..my name is Justin. Im a fish nerd, or fishaholic as my friends have called me. I am currently just getting back into the hobby after having to sell off my fish and tanks while i was moving and downsizing space. I was well into my 3rd year of fishkeeping when i was ...

Hey guys and gals...jus wanted to start a thread to keep track of my purchases and identification of the various Syno's ive been finding and buying. Hoping to get a few of you guys in here and involved (dont be scared to post some pics or any relevant information/links) and hopefully grow this into ...

Ok. Thanks for confirmation. Did you see the one with the picture of pectoral rays? Were you able t see them good enough? I am going to be trying to get some better pictures of each one, labelled and seperated. But if that one looks like grandiops, then 3 are indeed same.

Going to be taking a bunch more pictures of the petricola as i am interested in figuring out if theyre indeed legit. I do believe they are tho, as i got from a private breeder and he has both petricola and lucipinnis

Well i plan on making a thread on my synos. I jus grew my pack of petricola to 7..and my multis are at 6. Ive been looking to rehome the hybrid ny girlfriend purchased for me. He/she is a demon..very aggressive towards all the synos that are same size.

Hahaha sorry Jools...I was meaning to say Birger. I have read an abundance of information from both of you guys and I understand it's hard to identify species with crappy pictures that never show the areas you need to properly identify

Can anyone see how many I have now? Lol this was during a deep clean of my substrate and 30% water change. That is why they're stressed out looking and huddled together like this...not how they're usually. I went to a local breeders place to pick up some aulonocara baenschi females for my tank....an...

Anyone know where the synodontis experts are? I've read a ton of info from Jools...but he hasn't popped in yet.

Beautiful fish.

I jus got this pic tonight. Jus moved them into bigger tank and they've really started to move around and be active. Definitely starting to notice differences between the separate "groups" I bought. This is 1 of 3 of the larger ones. I will try to get some better pics as the water clears up.

I had to crop the pic to get it zoomed in a little bit. Hes a quick swimmer

Here is a pic of the one I know was labelled synodontis hybrid at the LFS..had so much personality and I know I can stick it into a tank without any other synos after quarantine. Lots of character in this one

I was thinking the same because of their huge eyes. They're in a quarantine set up for now...but I am going to try to get some better pictures tonight

This is one of the smaller ones I have. One of the 1st teo I bought.

Another one

Sorry about pic quality. They're moving like crazy. Think pic #1 and 2 are same fish.

Hello everyone. New member, but I am familiar with this site and all the info you guys have compiled and made available. I am recently back into the hobby and have started where my heart has been since I left...Synodontis and cichlids. Haha. Please let me know if you guys think I have genuine multi'...
