Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately these are hybrids...don't be fooled by people telling you it is a

Synodontis granulosus

or any other real species.

Out of personal interest what is the length of these fish?

Thanks for the ID Birger the fish are about 4inch.

It matches none of the 9 hybrids in the Cat-eLog, Birger. Not that that list is all-encompassing but just thought I'd point out. If we/you see a lot of these, maybe a new entry is warranted.

We could do that with permission from the owner of the images.

There has been a number of differing hybrids especially in the last year that look Tanganyikan, possibly combinations of different real species and usually tracked back to Eastern Europe.

I think I will link this with the hybrid syno thread.

I have no problems with the images being used, if required I could try and get something better to use.
