Afrikan Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 We purchased a Syno recently that we thought was a cuckoo, (sold as a cuckoo) However, since researching these Synos, the pics of Cuckoos online didn't match the one in our tank... the tail markings were totally different. Hmm, Oh well nice Syno all the same, but it still bugged me as I really wanted to know what we had... After getting the latest TFH magazine yesterday, here is the pic of our Syno in the catfish section! Turns out that the supposed Cuckoo that was brought into NZ could possibly be something else??... We actually believe we have the Synodontis ocellifer and not the Synodontis multipunctatus.. http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/haps/synodontis_ocellifer.html http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/syno-mul.htm I hope the links worked.. The fish are definately different, and the tail markings etc Any feedback on this would be much appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
