There are many species of synodontis, and there are many hybrids, crossbreeds between the species which pop up as well, quite often in pet shops. Synodontis appear to quite happily and readily crossbreed, to the chagrin of purists who do not approve of such abominations.

Most fish keepers like to have some bottom feeders in their aquarium. They can do a great job mopping up little pieces of food that larger, messier fish leave behind. Traditionally, this job has been done by the plecostomus, however catfish are starting to make a return to popularity in the hobby, and it is easy to see why.
With beautiful finnage and a relatively gentle temperament, synodontis catfish are omnivorous scavengers that will eat algae, pellets, flakes and even live food if they’re larger than it.
