In S. geledensis, the humeral process is rough, much longer than it is broad, and pointed at the end.[8] The fish has three pairs of barbels. The maxillary barbels are on located on the upper jaw, and two pairs of mandibular barbels are on the lower jaw. The maxillary barbel is straight without any branches, with a broad membrane at the base.[8] It extends about {{frac|1|1|4}} the length of the head.[8] The outer pair of mandibular barbels is about twice as long as the inner pair, have long, slender branches with secondary branches.[8] The front edges of the dorsal fins and the pectoral fins of Syntontis species are hardened into stiff spines.[4] In S. geledensis, the spine is {{frac|4|5}} as long as the head, nearly straight, serrated in the front and smooth on the back.[8] The remaining portion of the dorsal fin is made up of seven branching rays.[8] The spine of the pectoral fin is as long as the head, and serrated on both sides.[8] The adipose fin is 4 times as long as it is deep.[8] The anal fin contains four unbranched and eight branched rays, and is obtusely pointed in front.[8] The tail, or caudal fin, is deeply forked.[8] All members of Syndontis have a structure called a premaxillary toothpad, which is located on the very front of the upper jaw of the mouth. This structure contains several rows of short, chisel-shaped teeth. In S. geledensis, the toothpad forms a short, broad band.[8] On the lower jaw, or mandible, the teeth of Syndontis are attached to flexible, stalk-like structures and described as "s-shaped" or "hooked".[4][6] The number of teeth on the mandible is used to differentiate between species; in S. geledensis, there are about 18 teeth on the mandible.[8] The color of the fish is brownish on the back and sides, and whitish on the underside.[8] The maximum total length of the species is {{convert|30.7|cm|in}}.[2] Generally, females in the genus Synodontis tend to be slightly larger than males of the same age. Habitat and behaviorIn the wild, the species is known in Kenya and Ethiopia, and it is thought to have a greater range.[1] The species is harvested for human consumption.[1] Its habitat is threatened by dam building and water depletion for irrigation.[1] The reproductive habits of most of the species of Synodontis are not known, beyond some instances of obtaining egg counts from gravid females.[29] Spawning likely occurs during the flooding season between July and October, and pairs swim in unison during spawning.[30] The growth rate is rapid in the first year, then slows down as the fish age.
