I was sold a catfish that was labeled false upside down catfish. The catfish i have looks just like the syno comoensis that is pictured on this site. I was wondering if anybody could give me any info on this fish or at least point me in the right direction...

Thank Brian

You have Synodontis eupterus, which at a juvenile stage of development looks somewhat like S. comoensis.

As for the real S. comoensis, they are seldom if ever encountered in the hobby, and I would be surprised if anyone on this forum has ever seen a live (or even a dead) specimen. The chances of it being your fish are exceedingly small.

PS: I should have a rubber stamp that says "Please add your location to your profile!", since I seem to have to type this in response to so many posts. But please do.

Thanks for the info...

My location is just North of Pittsburgh Pa. USA. in a small town called Beaver Falls....Thanks again....
