ID my Synodontis plz :)

[mr.bigglesworth]

Ok so her name is Miss Piggy she's about 8"-9" she is very peaceful and an active swimmer. She's in a tank with discus and what not. She is VERY OLD. The previous owner has had her for about 20 years I believe. She has big teeth. And she is full of personality. I don't believe she is a featherfin. But if she is that's great. Also, she is a female correct?

It is a hybrid (both coloration and the obvious telltale dip behind the head), likely of this kind http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=4123 Read "Sexing" section, please.

Less likely it is this hybrid http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=1915


You can find a few of mine similar to yours http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30939&hilit=120+gal

Synodontis ocellifer does look VERY similar. Still so does that hybrid.

If you pay attention to e.g., just the coloration of the dorsal and the caudal in ocellifer - it is nothing like yours http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=551
