      The sign for a mix of African, Asian, and South American fish weirdly labelled as being an Amazon tank. The sign lacks scientific names but includes two Synodontis species: the "Featherfin Catfish", which is S. eupterus as depicted on the sign; and the "Upside Down Catfish" which is a general name for the genus. There were indeed two individual Synodontis in the tank, but the largest one was S. membranaceus (easily identifiable by its broad whiskers), and the other one inside a log may have been S. pardalis. Another fish on the sign was Pink-tailed Chalceus Chalceus macrolepidotus, but the similar-looking fish in the tank were actually Cigar Sharks. I was also surprised that one of the plecs in the tank was a Pseudacanthicus species.
