After much scouring of the internet i believe it is a synodontis petricola
if someone thinks different let me know please :)
 
slighty off sub, activated carbon works wonders for tannis, you could boil your dw next time too.. unless your going for natural tank. Your tank has really good aquascaping.
 
I agree looks like a synodontis petricola
 
Synodontis Lucipinnis, I have 9 of these in my 80 gallon. They are also known as dwarf petricola. The spots on this one are not uniform enough to be a true petricola. I would get a few more, they love to be in groups.
 
haha thanks for confirming what i thought...
and wow you guys like what you could see there that much? was just random, planted but :) hoping everything takes root and goes good lol
here you go
when the pics were taken there were just some barbs in there, almost stocked now, couple of the fish are going into a bigger tank when they themselves get bigger :) anyways...
first is full shot, then thirds.
