Synodontis ID

Post by Erlend D Bertelsen »

Hi.

I would appreciate some help to ID some Synodontis species.

The first one am I 100 % sure is a Synodontis angelica. I post the picture since it is a nice fish.

The second one is suppose to bee Synodontis petricola, it is wild caught. It would be nice to get a 100 % ID.

The third I think is Synodontis ocellifer, but I am not sure. Any help?

The fourth I am not sure about. It may also be a crossbreed for all I know.

And for info, all fishes are kept separately in Malawi or Tanganika aquariums.

Thanks

I agree on all IDs - the hybrid looks like it has Grandiops/Multi in it's history & perhaps schoutedeni/greshoffi?
