Synodontis -

[Biulu]

Hi,

I bought a synodontis which was not labeled as an upside down species. I have been searching the catfish planet forum, but have not been able to find him. He really has the pattern and colour of a nigriventis though. I have seen him swimming upside down only once, mostly he hovers 1 cm above the substrate though, and sticks to the glass, which I understand an upside down doesn't do.

Taking a pic is impossible as it is very shy. If I see it once a day, I am already happy. I hope he will be more 'outgoing' after a while.

Anybody that can confirm me what species it is?

It could be a Synodontis eupterus?

It's really hard to confirm a species without a picture. If you could get one, that would be awesome.

In the mean time, browse planetcatfish some more. You never know, you may have skipped right over him before. http/planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=29#413

That is a possibility, although I feel that the tail has more and complete black lines. Serpentes is also a possibility. It remains difficult though!
