Timetraveler,

Are you referring to Synodontis granulosis?

perhaps he means Synodontis petricola :lol:

that one too has a white stripe on the dorsal; up front!
esp babies, Burundi's and sp "Giants" from Tanzania have very obvious white bands on the dorsal.

Oi, Bruce;
If it's the granny you like, start saving lots of ca$h or have a nice talk with your boss on paycheck raises.... :wink:
