 | what is this synodontis ? |
ghostfish  Hobbyist Posts: 101 Kudos: 79 Votes: 4 Registered: 23-Nov-2004   | I have a 10cm synodontis catfish, but don't know what its called?  It's in the same shape as the cuckoo catfish (synodontis multipunctatus) but is a very dark brown with small black spots. It cost me $30 so I know its not a cuckoo catfish. Can anyone tell me what its common and scientific name is ?????  |

| Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001 | Synodontis gobroni, Synodontis nebulosus? Go to http://planetcatfish.com and look through their catalog of Synodontis species. That might help. Joe Potato Last edited by Joe Potato at 04-Dec-2004 20:21 |
