Absent from upper Save-Runde system (Ref. 7248 , 52193 ). Also reported from the Luangwe (upper Congo River basin) (Ref. 58032 , 82238 ). Reports from the Angolan Congo basin (Ref. 11970 ) refer to Synodontis macropuncatus (Ref. 75786 ). Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m 15.0   range ? - ? cm Max length : 43.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 52193 ); max. published weight: 820.00 g (Ref. 52193 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 11 - 16. Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) The spines are said to be poisonous (Ref. 4537 ). Found in pools and slow flowing reaches of perennial and seasonal rivers; prefers riverine habitats to floodplains; shelters in holes or crevices or on the underside of logs, frequently in an upside-down position (Ref. 52193 ). Active at night, feeds on detritus and plant matter such as seeds as well as small invertebrates like insects and snails, and will scavenge readily (Ref. 52193 ).
