The adult males of many of these species have elongate anal and caudal fins. Also, males may have an enlarged humeral process.{{cite journal|url=https://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2006f/zt01125p056.pdf|title=Synodontis acanthoperca, a new species from the Ogôoué River system, Gabon with comments on spiny ornamentation and sexual dimorphism in mochokid catfishes (Siluriformes: Mochokidae)|author1=Friel, J.P. |author2=Vigliotta, T.R. |journal=Zootaxa|volume=1125|pages=45–56|year=2006|doi=10.11646/zootaxa.1125.1.3 }}
