Similar looking to S.
decorus with
the fine spotted head but has a spotted caudal fin
instead of stripes and also lacks the extended dorsal
fin. This could be a cross between S. decorus
and S.
nummifer but this is purely conjecture
as a Lake Tanganyika species could also be in the
mix, but decorus certainly looks like one
of the partners. Similar to SC011
which has a lighter body colour.
Remarks:
We have decided to label each alleged 'hybrid' or
unknown Synodontis species with SC numbers
(ScotCat numbers) to identify each species exclusive
to the ScotCat website.
