As you can see they have a huge adipose and very short snout. I can't find anything else than schall. The small one turned its color more brown after it was settled.
Synodontis schall?

Synodontis schall?
My LFS got these synos last week, they came as Synodontis mix W/C. No idea about origin.

I don't have a photo but as I remember upper lobe was longer. I will check that when I visit there next time.Birger wrote:Jippo what is the length of the caudal lobes...is one longer than the other?

Re: Synodontis schall?
It's not 100% clear, but I think the second picture shows both fishes have slightly longer upper than lower lobe.

Re: Synodontis schall?
If it was S.schall it would be an intermediate brown with dark spots form, but I do not think this is what it is.
I can not come up with anything though, my average has been dropping lately when it comes to some of these syno's
.
I was looking at S. ouemeensis but the description of a preserved specimen showed no spots.
