LARGE Synodontis multipunctatus... Synodontis is the largest genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Mochokidae. Synodontis are also known as squeakers, due to their ability to make stridulatory sounds through their pectoral fin spines when handled or disturbed. These catfish are small- to medium-sized fish, with many species exhibiting attractive spotted markings. Some species are also known for naturally swimming belly-up, earning the name upside-down catfish. This species are omnivorous, feeding on a wide spectrum of different foods and are largely unspecialized. They are bottom-feeders and may be detrivores.. Synodontis is the most widely distributed mochokid genus, occurring throughout most of the freshwaters of sub-Saharan Africa and the Nile River system.
