Synodontis Multipunctatus
These are synodontis with shark like fins which have made them very popular indeed. They can command quite high prices both in pet stores and out of them. These synos grow to around 12 centimeters, so they are not terribly large, and if you have the funds, you can quite happily keep several of them in a 90 gallon tank.
They are also known as the cuckoo synodontis as they have a habit of eating the eggs of other fish and depositing their own in place for the other fish to tend as they grow.

Okay It was labeled as an Ocilifer and Eruptus mix.
As far as I know the Multi is a much lighter coloration. He is 9 inches.
I love the way they breed lol it's funny.
Thanks for your ID are you sure though? I don't agree fully.

To me it looks like a S. eupterus hybrid, but that's just from taking a quick look at it.
But fishaddict might be right... although I've never seen a S. ocellifer that dark before.
