The LFS called him a "Synodontis melanosticta," but I don't think so. I am pretty sure I know what he really is, but before I say what I think he is, I want to get your opinions.

Ok, thanks. :D My aquarium stock is constantly changing these days. I no longer have the pacu, the lima shovelnoses, nor the senegal bichir. At the moment, it is just him, the eel, the pleco, and the aro. I have a small section of the tank isolated with a divider, in which I'm growing out two angels, and I'm also growing out a gold severum in another tank, which will also be going into the 225 eventually. :)

you have a nice collection going.. i will hope for you that your synodontis frontosus has a better personality with others then my guy does.. actually he loves all his tankmates so much..that he would never leave them alone... no matter what tank i put him in he would swim near the other fish and touch them with his body.. hugging them and loving them...to the point that i had to give him his own tank forever.. looking forward to hearing how yours will be with other tankmates.. it did not matter what size fish.. i tried a big oscar and big red devil same way..lol

Yeah I sat and watched him for a while last night (he hasn't started coming out during the day yet), and he was trying to do that to my gibby. I was a little worried that he was going to get hurt (my gibby is really territorial and started lunging at it), but I think he'll be fine though once he gets used to living in my tank.
