Hi,
maybe Synodontis schoutedeni.

Or, if it´s from Lake Tanganjika, S. polli?

Hi,

i dont think it`s a Synodontis Schoutedeni.

maybe it could be a Synodontis Filamentosus.

Hi,
because I have such a beautiful book from Aqualog with picture CD, and because it´s allowed, I´ll post some pictures so you can make your own mind up:

Synodontis filamentosus

Hi :hi:

i think it could be a color variant of S. eupterus.

Do you have a picture where we can see the dorsal and caudal fin?


I exclude S. schoutedeni, S. polli and S. filamentosus. :bhä:
