Synodontis what?
What have you been feeding ?
What size is it?
How do know it's a she?
What other occupants are there?

Nope, its really dark like Dark grey and Black dots a little bit like it but its defo not that one its frustrating as when i bought her/him on the tank it just had synodontis catfish
Ok just been searching... and i found a syndontis eupterus its like that probrably that just mine has more black dots.

thats a syno eupterous.i have one.i just took some pics of it.i dont know how to get good pics though.

its normal for a feather fin syno to be oddly plump all the time.it actually shows the fish is healty and with what your feeding it it will get big(round) fast.but evn when the fish hasn't eaten in a while it will still be round

 

[DiscusAngel]

ok thanks and yes my catfish is that one! but not as "Flary fins" , its belly has gone.. i think it could have laid eggs but im sure all the other fish would have eaten in anyway i cant see anyeggs in her hiding place (assuming its a her and i just call it a her lol)

thanks everyone!! for your time and help!!

 

[fishfishfish]

i dont think it laid eggs at 3 inches.mine is almost 7 and hasn't laid.the tend to work off their chubby in a quick amount of time.
also yours will get these flarey fins at a older age

IVE GOT ONE OF THESE TOO, REALLY FRIENDLY, BUT SEEM TO BE OUT AND ABOUT WHATEVER THE TIME OR LIGHT,
I HAVE RED LASER MODULES AROUND THE TANK WOULD THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THEIR BEHAVIOUR?

 

[fishfishfish]
