This is not my fish, I'm just curious what you guys think. Apparently it was sold as "Synodontis valentina".

I'm thinking it's a (very good-looking) hybrid, but...
"Synodontis valentina"?

Because they can, and people are willing to pay (good) money for these fish, as they look rather nice, and nice looking Synos are generally quite expensive when "genuine". [Nice looking is subject to opinion of course].Mike_Noren wrote:"What on earth are those czechs up to?!"
