Synodontis sp. Correct species identification needed

Post by Quo »

I've bought One year and a half ago, despite that they are still rather small. not more than 12 cm. Big black dots, They were sol to me as Synodontis Lucipinnis, but it doesnt look like what I see on the net, mine dont have those dark fins. The LFS was also selling at the time Synodontis Valentiana, that I know that are hybrids.

here's their pics:

They are hybrids. The same ones as these, I think.

I agree with Silurus
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
