Ornatipinnis, FINALLY!!!

[jippo]

Searching for years and years and never even seen it before alive. Until I got it to my own tank . Real

Synodontis ornatipinnis

!!! How is it possible for grown up man to get so much joy of an small catfish . And again thanks to Oliver Frank at OF-Aquaristik, he has kept this species for me so long time.




I also got group of

Chiloglanis cf_disneyi

.




And group of Microsynodontis cf. polli, imported from Kinshasa.

nice synodontis,can you tell us how many you've got?

quite an impressive list you've got there by the way.

[Birger]

Hate to tell you but that is a hybrid!!!

Kidding

That is great Petterei, what is the size of the ornatipinnis, I am guessing about 12 cm. Just wondering how the size is coinciding with the pattern.

Hope the Chiloglanis settle in for you.

The

Microsynodontis polli

look in good health as well.

Excellent find. Beautiful fish. Congrats!

Great find.

The body does look unusually marbled (as opposed to striped)for what looks like a smaller specimen, but clearly not one of the horrible hybrids being passed off as Ornatipinnis.

Ornatipinnis? Heck, they have so many of them down at the LFS by me, that they are giving them away to anyone who comes near the place. Kidding!

Sweet find! I'm not sure I've ever seen one in person. How many did you get?

Hybrid, not this time .

Size of this is around 12cm, you have a good eye.

One of the Chiloglanis died but others are doing fine, just have to wait how they survive. Not easy to keep alive, I know.

I only got one but it is already a real "pet".

Kind of funny that it acts different than most other synos, couple days after I put it to tank it's already settled down. And already follows the finger, which takes many weeks for most synos if they ever does it. Searching it for years and when I finally got it, it's much more interesting that I never thought.
This really is a great cat!
