Synodontis Catfish

[Mad Duff]

I recently got this Syno, it was sold as a Syno Flavitaeniatus but im not convinced. It is on its own at the moment and seems very placid but I was planning on moving it into a tank with my Syno Eupterus but want to know which syno it is first. It does look a bit similar to Greshoffi or Syno cf Koensis but im not sure.

thats a difficult one, could you get a clearer picture showing the head?

it could be a variout of Synodontis pleurops but its quite hard to tell.

Are these any better Ben, I managed to get these this morning

The first picture was taken a couple of months ago and he/she has grown about 1 1/2 inches since then and is now about 5 inch long and the colouration has got darker.

that looks alot like a syno that i have, i think its Synodontis afrofisheri
i have it in with some cichlids, 2 barbs, a syno eupterus, and a pictus cat
when it was smaller it got picked on alot so i moved it into my moms tank for awhile, then i moved it back in and now its doing great.
