I asked in another thread of mine about the tank but this really is the right place.


I got him 4 years ago at my local shop as a freebie. Somebody returned him covered in scars and cuts. He was 6" then and he's 6" now.

Can you get a side on shot, preferably with the dorsal up? So many synodontis a variable, looks like one of the dark phase alberti is this picture. but also a dark nebulosus

He's hard to catch out in the open right now. Harder to catch on film. His dorsal is almost always up and I'd say it's an inch to an inch and a half high.

Behaviorwise he has a habit of going vertical, face down, tail up when he's not feeding and not hiding. If that means anything.
 
Im thinking a Lace Synodontis, but its hard to tell without a clear pic.
 
EDIT:


I'm 99% it's an Alberti. I found one pic on one site that matches him to a T. Thanks a lot everybody. The big eyes and thin tall dorsal were perfect.
