Got 3 of these guys from Rainforest today but the guy didn't really know what to call them;

The 2nd pic shows that 1 of the 3 has much tighter spots but he told me they are all the same type?

The second one is a featherfin synodontis:

First one is also an upside down catfish I think, just different coloration, and may not be a featherfin... not 100% sure on that though. Nice looking fish !
Here are all the thumbnails for the synodontis cats... : http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/genus.php?genus_id=29

I posted them on planetcatfish and they agree the 2nd one is Synodontis eupterus (Featherfin syno) but think the 1st one may be a hybrid of some kind :confused:
