Hi everybody - I also need help to identify a fish I have inherited.

I have looked over the internet to try and identify him but I have not had much luck so far...... maybe its me being silly? I have found similar images but not managed to find him/her. Any help would be AMAZING! Thanks in advance

Hi, welcome to the forum.

So thanks for all your help in the last question but now I have another. I recently inherited the tank I bought now its all settled and testing well I am planning on changing things a little bit. I feel the tank was over stocked when I got it so im trying to resolve this issue by selling a few of the fish. Of course to a good home. The fish im trying to identify this time I believe is a Synodontis Multipunctatus Catfish of some kind but im not sure what type?

Looks more like a Synodontis ocellifer and not a S. multipunctatus.

Synodontis ocellife

Hi Colin thanks I believe you are correct many thanks
