I've never raised polli white. However, I have raised grandiops & lucipinnis. By the time both of those are 1 cm long, however, I've never had any issue raising them to adulthood. When they are smaller I feed the lucippinis microworms & then graduate them to crushed Hikari carnivore tabs.

Hi
I have now ordred some carnivore tabs, and will try that.
Did you never feed yours with spirulina ?
I dont know if they need some vegetarian food ?

I have never fed fry any kind of vegetable based foods. However, my adult grandiops & granulosus really like broccoli .

I feed growing fish twice a day. My adults I only feed once a day.

Hi.
And do you have a good cirkulation, or just a little pump ?
I have read, that some people's synodontis die, if they have to little cirkulation in the water

Re: What to feed synodontis polli white babyes ?
Many times when this sort of thing happens it is due to overcrowding as they get bigger, try splitting them up between more tanks as they get near this size.I do not think it is a food issue but crowding or water quality.
About veggies and syno's, many will take veggies as they grow older...this is key. Tanganyika syno's are probably the least likely to need veggies in their diet at a young age IMO.

These are pretty unfussy feeders & young should eat just about anything. Standard commercial foods would be fine. They are particularly fond of 'prawn paste'. Buy a packet of fresh cooked shell-on prawns then blend the lot into a paste (you could add spirulina powder). I then put this into ice cube trays & top off with a little water & freeze them.
Just out of interest, how big is the biggest adult?
