Thanks, I will keep this in concern.
My favourite fish shop, the east harling branch of Swallow Aquatics usually have great stock and hopefully they will get some juvies in for me So buying all from the same place I will hopefully end up with all of the same species

Thanks for your replies everyone!

I don't mind keeping petricola or lucinnis (however its spelt :)) The ones I have seen are labelled as Petricola, they are about 1" long and are £15. Due to their price, would I be able to add 2 at a time until I have 6-8 depending on species?

As for breeding, to ...

The synos would be the only fish in the tank

Okay, thanks for your help

Cool

How many could I have in the tank?

I live in suffolk and the pH out of the tap is 7.8 and I know the water is quite hard in this area

I'm using a 30cm ruler to measure so this will be a rough guess,
Length: 30"
Depth: 15"
Height: 17"

So the footprint isn't too great :/

The tank I would like to use is a 34G so I guess I would only be able to keep a small group right?

Also, I'm unsure of the substrate they like. I've read sand or coral sand, is any of those okay for them?

Hi, I'm new here and signed up because I'm looking for some information on synodontis petricola.
I'm not interested in keeping them with cichlids, just on their own in a all petricola tank.

So just the general info I'm looking for, how many should be in a group, what aquascaping they like etc ...
