Synodontis Identification

Post by nordernaquariums »

Hi,
Over the last few years I have collected a few different syndontis cats. Most were sold to me as Synodontis Petricola, but when comparing them, I believe I may have 2 or 3 different species. I have numbered pictures of each. I would really appreciate any insight from the community.
