new synodontis

[zenyfish]

Gee ... hate to say it, but doesn't look real. Dorsal is too large, fins too dark, humeral process looks wrong, no small spots on face.

Yes, a hybrid.

it is not a hybrid but a undiscribed sp. i just searched planet catfish and found a identical fish: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=1945

Doesn't look like the above fish ... fins do not match.

The size of the spots on the fins excluding the dorsal are the only signifigant difrences i have observed all other features are the same eg. size of caudial peduncle relitive to body size, membrane on maxiallary barbles, body colour this has led me to the conclusion that this is the same sp. of synodontis.
If you can provide me with a sp. which resembles my fish better than the one i have decided upon i might consider changing my mind, zenyfish.
Also more pictures can be uploaded if anybody wants.

Your best bet is to put pictures up on planetcatfish.com ... there are people there more expert than I.
