Hmmmm - is this like the one we debated as serpentis? Or possibly leopardus?

In first time I was thinking greshoffi too but now i'm not so sure anymore. Fishes are juvenile so it's hard to say nothing for sure. Humeral process is not sharp like greshoffi but remarkable was that humeral process was different with both fishes in picture. I have note that same thing that sometimes with juveniles of same species Synodontis humeral process can be sharp or not sharp. There is very little information about juvenile rebeli and in Fresh and Brackish Water Fishes of Lower Guinea there is remark about rebeli/obesus complex that it's hard to distinguish these two species. Do you know origin of these fishes? I have seen rebeli in some stocklists but I haven't seen it never live.
