Hybrid?
This one's a bit tricky.
The eyes are a bit coppery, so I think it is.

Doesn't look like S. multipunctatus to me.

Yes, I would guess it IS a hybrid. Has some multipunctatus features but it's almost certainly NOT a multipunctatus. S. ocellifer x S. multipunctatus?

look at those fins!

not a smudge of black, nor white...just spots

$#%#@$^%@$^!#$^hybrids
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

however, they look kida "original" though (maybe it's the evil beauty of the hybrid :twisted: ), sure it's not some unknown riverine species?
that long snout and the shape of the mouth remind me of pleurops or acanthomias....

Really a great looking syno in my eyes. :D
