coelacanth Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 yep, its a synodontis (of the family Mochokidae, not Pimelodidae). They're from Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 upsidedown catfish are synos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 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).
