Synodontis Serpentis and Clariotus

Post by CEfire »

I saw these things on Aquabid and was assuming they were hybrids but I just wanted to check with the experts.

Hi!

It don´t give S. clariotus. I think it´s a hybrid.

The body of the S. serpentis looks like S. schoutedeni. :?
Maybe a hybrid too?

I agree with Oliver. Both fish look like hybrids.

Clariotus is definitely a hybrid.

Serpentis is schoutedeni.
