Matched on the common name Vermiculated Synodontis
Max length138mm SL5in SLTank90 × 30cm36 × 12inTemp22–27°C72–81°FpH6.0–7.5In our opinion, this is one of the most attractively marked Synos commonly available in the hobby. The colour and patterning can vary considerably and the vermiculated pattern seems to intensify with age in well kept fish. When taken into consideration with its moderate adult size, this is an ideal beginners's Syno. One point worth noting is that this species seems very susceptible to bloating.

Max length90mm SL3.5in SLTank90 × 30cm36 × 12inTemp24–30°C75–86°FpH5.5–7.5A similar-looking, larger form from the rio Jarí, which enters the Amazon from the opposite bank a few hundred kilometres downstream from the Tapajós has been assigned the code L411. The two can be told apart relatively easily since in L260 the white vermiculations on the body are significantly finer than in L411, in which the black and white components of the colour pattern are of more-or-less equivalent width.
