HI,
My lfs had this guy marked as a Synodontis nigrita (lace catfish)
I'm fairly certain this is actually a Synodontis eupterus (Featherfin or squeaker catfish)

can someone confirm this for me please??
I'm intending to put him in my cichlid tank. Should be a good fit i think

Well.. As I am fairly certain that this is indeed an Eupterus I am going to move on and name my new favorite fish "Squeaker", as he (or she) makes the most interesting audible noises while backstroking at the top while stealing flake from the other fish ( the shrimp pellets are not enough I guess).

This is by far the coolest fish I have owned to date. A awesome addition to my stock.
 
I'm struggling to make out the dorsal fin shape. A good side-on full photo of the catfish should get you an ID on PlanetCatfish, there are some very knowledgeable people there that will get you a true identification.
 
definitely a feather fin , my friend knows his cats it is
