I picked up 3 of these little guys (2.5-3inches). They were sold as Synodontis Longirostris but I'm not so sure they are now. Maybe hybrids? Its tough to get pictures of them. The only time they come out of the rocks is at feeding time and they are moving too fast for a picture. Can anyone confirm what species? thanks


he is so cute what ever he is...

I have to say he looks like a Synodontis robbianus to me..they are easily mixed up with the synodontis Nigrita ..the main difference is the nigrita has a brown/black body and the robbianus has a brown color..he gets to be about 5 inches if he is indeed the robbianus synodontis..which i think he is..

could you post a couple more pics of him and also his face? According to this picture i believe you have ID'd him correctly.
