Syno sp. (7)

In the Cat-eLog they show a Synodontis sp' (7). Anyone care to guess what species it might be? Hopefully the answer isn't "hybrid"!

Not 100% shure on ID, but it doesn't strike me as "hybrid"!

This thread:

is where the pictures came from. Many guesses to the ID in there, but don't think they are hybrids.

As the fish in the pictures are mine, I certainly hope they're not hybrids. I recently got the Aqualog Photo Collection 1 on African Catfish and there's a picture of a fish, which I think is identical to mine. They're referred to as Synodontis cf. waterloti.

I intend to ask Silurus for his opinion on the matter when he returns from his fishing trip.

Have you by any chance ever seen similar fish ?

Waterloti pectoral spines are highly serrated on the front edge only you could see this on your fish plesner.
