Wikipedia Abstract

Synodontis afrofischeri, known as Fischer's Victoria squeaker, the Marbled Victoria squeaker, Fischer's Catfish, or the Victoria Synodontis, is a species of upside-down catfish native to Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. It was first described by German zoologist Franz Martin Hilgendorf in 1888, based upon a holotype discovered in Lake Victoria. The specific name "afrofischeri" is in honor of the German researcher Dr. Gustav Fischer, a German explorer of Africa.
