Syno ID Please

Post by 660Dave »

Hi, i purchased four synos last week, they were advertised as Petricola. I was expecting Lucipinnis and this is what i got.

They have spots in the tails, i was told by someone else this a sure sign of hybridization but i don't know how true that is.

Thanks in advance for your help.
