This fish has changed my opinion of hybrids; I really like this.

Thanks I really like them. They still hide more than the Syno's in my other tank, but they are coming out a bit more the past couple months now. The one is actually getting to be pretty good size now, I'd say maybe 4"-4.25" or there abouts. I'll try to get an updated pic of the bigger one if I can sneak one while he's out soon.

Very cool looking.

Not much of a catfish guy, so I really dont know much about them.

Thanks all for posting info about this fish.  Made up my mind and ordered six of them; they should arrive in a few days.  Looking forward to raising them...my wife likes them, too.  It's a win-win!

I henceforth name this hybrid fish "Synodontis angeleupterus" in honor of Tony G. (GrizzlysDad).

Cool your gonna really enjoy them they are a real cool looking fish. Mine are out and about on a pretty regular bases now where I can see them quite often. I've been feeding them algae wafers the past few weeks and they are getting nice and chunky now ;D

Post some pics when you get yours.

Sure Emil. One of them is hiding right now but here's a couple of the other one which is out and about roaming around right now.

They have grown a bit in both length as well as girth since I got them. When I got them in early November one was about 3" and the other about 3.5". Now I would say the one is about 3.5" and the other about 4.25". Both have put on a bit of girth as well. The larger one is noticeably thicker than when I got him 6 months ago. I'll try to snap a pic of the larger one next time he is out roaming around.
