Synodontis ID Help

Hi there.

I received these synodontis for my broodstock. They are supposed to be multipunctatus but they do not look like it to me. Not even close.

What do you guys think?

As you can see they have a large dorsal fin, which remains erect when they swim giving them a shark like appearence. The seem to like shoaling and eat almost anything you throw at them.

I was thinking maybe S. eupterus or S. ocellifer

Please help

thanks

Oh, also put in a pic of what a multipunctatus is supposed to look like.

I'm not sure of the age. I got them pretty big already. I've only had them about 4 months or so but i reckon he must be near adult judging by size. The only thing with eupterus is that the dorsal fin has a shredded feather like appearence. I have 16 of these fish and not 1 shows a single shred on its dorsal fin. Not even a bite mark. My girlfriend has a small eupterus, they look similar but distinctively different. Closer than it does to multipunctatus tho

Yeah. It's a bit of a problem cause I payed a lot of money for multipunctatus and I dont think I got multipunctatus. I noticed that they weren't looking right but I was assured by the guy who sent them to me that they were multi's. I think i've beed duped somewhere along the line. Trying to register at planetcatfish.com so i can post a similar thread there.

Thanks for the help
