Synodontis hybrid???

Post by walleye1 »

I picked up three little cats at a swap today. They are about 2 1/2" long. No one knew what they were. We guessed a hybrid of some sort of Synodontis. I looked at the Synodontis pics. The closest I could find was Synodontis sp. hybrid(5). Curious if anyone has seen these. They don't quite have the spots on the head as the hybrid(5). I only gave $4. each so I didn't think I was out much. Any help would be appreciated.

You look to be close with your guess...there are so many combinations out there, it is hard to pin them down.
