Need Help! Please ID Synodontis

[THREEVZE]

Hi All! Please help me identify the species of synodontis. Initially I thought it was a decorus, but further research says otherwise. One is a 3" specimen and the other is about 5".

I appreciate the help.

It's a Synodontis decorus.

Its a hybrid synodontis, I've heard them called valentine before. Def not a true decorus. they stay smaller and stockier. Here's a pic of mine.

Thanks. I had a hunch it was some sort of hybrid since it was missing the long trailer on dorsal and horizontal bars/stripes on their tail if they were indeed decorus.

voodeezy: how much did you pay for your hybrids?

I'd say S. decora x S. ocellifer.
