Only one I have found for sale in the UK after searching for quite some time, just waiting on them coming back to me to confirm they can hold, as he's over 5 hours away.
synodontis longirostris ID

Cool. If you get it and keep it and make up a thread on it and place all updates and visuals in the said thread regularly, you'd make half of my dream come true. FWIW.
Well it's on its way home 6 hours till it will be in his forever home
so speckles has made it home I'll start a thread on him in more depth once he's settled in.
Excellent! Gorgeous tank.
Your call. I think you could or even should carry on with this thread. There is already a good beginning of the story and some useful info in the thread and nice visuals. I think many will appreciate it, even if you come back to this thread once or twice a year because of how rare this fish is in the hobby and how demanding its eventual housing size is.
There is someone in the US west coast I believe with several adults in one tank (attempting to breed or not, IDK) but that person is not on MFK, don't know if they are on any other social media... but that's all the keepers I know worldwide. Not that I am all knowing, of course. Just a personal experience of a catfish nut who always wanted to keep this species.

I am a bit confused, what is your involvement in this story if any? Are you the seller? If so, tell us the preceding story of this wonderful specimen, pretty please?
No not the seller I'm his gf and was updating as he was driving home
Well after looking for so long it looks like the gods have shun on me as not only have I been able to own one of these magnificent catfish, I have the chance to own another (not 100% if the second one is a true syno longirostris till tomorrow), a picture of the second attached not the best as was sent by current owner ( will try and get some information to add)
Wow! You are on a roll! Looks like the real mccoy to me. What are you paying for these, if you don't mind? No expectations.
If they happen to end up as a breeding pair then please do let us know about it, should it be the right species, gender, and you get it that is.
So I did get the
Now I have picked the second one up I payed £180 for the first one from a aquatic store and the other I payed £70 for from a UK aquatics classifieds
