Synodontis Eupterus?

Post by Bettaman »

I was wondering if my catfish is a featherfin squeaker. The pictures of the squeakers online tend to have a lighter colored body,squat with prominent spots. Mine is about 4 inches now but the body has maintained a darker black coloration and it seems a bit more elongated than the pictures I have seen. Appreciate the help.

Looks like it to me. The elongation is what throws it off a bit for me too as for you. The base color can vary substantially.
