What Synodontis species is this?

Post by Orbital »

I got this from a LFS that gets odd ball Synodontis in from time to time. Last time I got a Soloni and a Eupterus, and this last time I was there I got a eubenistirs(sp?) I cannot find it in the catalog.

I am pretty sure it is not your typical "lace" sine I have 3 and its not the same.

So its not a Synodontis bastiani, I recognise the name Eburneensis. Someone pointed out a link on another forum, where I recognise the name from. Although neither really look the same really. Will a Schall get a blue color as it matures? That first picture is pretty neat looking on the profiles here.

That picture here does look alot like the other two tank mates w/ the darkish spot on the side. Mine seemed to not have it like the other two.
