Synodontis afrofischeri, known as Fischer's Victoria squeaker,[2] the marbled Victoria squeaker,[2] Fischer's catfish,[3] or the Victoria synodontis,[4] is a species of upside-down catfish native to Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
[2] It was first described by German zoologist Franz Martin Hilgendorf in 1888, based upon a holotype discovered in Lake Victoria.
[2] The fish has a dark to black band that traverses from the eye to the mouth, and two irregular light vertical bands on either side of the adipose fin.
[4] Like other members of the genus, this fish has a humeral process, which is a bony spike that is attached to a hardened head cap on the fish and can be seen extending beyond the gill opening.
[2][4] This species grows to a maximum known length of 17.7 centimetres (7.0 in) TL[2][4] In the wild, the species inhabits tropical waters with a temperature range of 22 to 26 °C (72 to 79 °F), a pH of 6.0 – 8.0, and dH range of 5-25.
