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 S. 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.
