Hey guys
I have these 3 fish for 2 years now. I forget name
They are very chill. now 8'' i'm thinking they are full grown. Favorite food sterlet pelets. Strange but they are crazy for sterlet pelets.
Pictures are litle dark because light's were off.
They look cool.

I'd say Synodontis ocellifer http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=551 The body shape, esp. the adipose fin and the spots match well.

Galinae is a variant of eupterus that some experts say is a distinct species whilst others say not. As one can see, it is not even included in this most complete and best (IMHO) syno genus database http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/genus.php?genus_id=29#551

It looks ~ exactly like eupterus only with a blunter / shorter / sharper sloped skull or head.

Three pictures of my "galinae" mid page, 8th post http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28869&hilit=galinae

.....and the eupterous has much more and smaller spots if I remember correctly.
