Thanks for that when i brought it was told it was an upsidedown catfish. When i saw it i knew it was obviously not but got it anyways but had no idea what it was :oops: . Im not very bright when it comes to naming fish. I have a whole tank full of fish that i have no idea of what they are :D

upsidedown catfish are synos.

the "true" (a better term might be "the original") upside-down catfish is Synodontis nigriventris but lots of the mochokids swim in an inverted manner and many of them are just loosely called upside-down cats in shops (especially if they don't know what species they are).

looks like a feather fin syno
