− | + | |behaviour=:A generally peaceful catfish as long as it's kept with fish of similar size or larger, smaller fish may be seen as prey. | |
− | + | |identification=:The body of this Synodontis is long with a rounded snout and three sets of [[barbels]]. The colour of the Angelicus can vary, generally the base colour is dark blue-black with white spots irregularly scattered over the body. The number of spots will vary from one fish to another. The underside of the fish tends to be pale. The adipose fin is spotted, the other fins have dark transverse bands. An uncommon regional variation has few spots on the body and no spots on the head with thin white transverse bars, a yellow spotted variant has also been seen. | |
