Hey everybody,

My mum bought me this little guy the other day, and she didn't think to find out what kind of catfish he was. However, I need to know in order to take proper care of him! I've looked, and the only type that resembles him that I've come across is the Pictus Catfish? I'm not a fish expert, so I really have no idea. Anyway, I'm sure someone here can help me out!
Thanks very much,
Sarah

I'd guess it's some sort of , but the distorted view through the glass makes it nearly impossible to see the shape of the fish. The spots makes me sort of think that it's a hybrid, but I'd defer to someone with much better skills of identifying Synos.

It's absolutely not a chance in a well-frozen warm place that it's a Pictus cat.

Eyes are really small, but that might be distortion. Nigriventris? ... especially if it swims upside down.

It doesn't look like a nigriventris from here...

Hi,

it´s a young fish... two possibilities:



or



Following a picture from a youngster with a size of 3-4 cm. I have bred this spezies and called them "Synodontis cf. nigrita". In the meantime i think it is probably S. robbiana.
