Syno Petricola?

Post by Ambull »

Over the past ten years I have had a breeding colony of what i always thought were Syno Petricola's. I wonder now however if it is true. Maybe Polli? Or Hybrid of some sorts? Can anyone help me identify?

I possibly answered my own question. I'm guessing they might be Lucipinnis. Sorry, I shoulda read a little more before posting my question. The cardinal sin of forum posting..

Keep in mind S. lucipinnis has only been scientifically described since 2006.

I would like a clearer photo to say for sure but yes it looks like S. lucipinnis.

Yes, this is Lucipinnis......first seen at a wholesaler in NJ.....At first glance, thought it was S. Polli, but that species is much larger and has a more robust body......both beautiful !
Love anything from South America.....looking for any
Spatuloricaria sp. ...Corydoras weitzmani, Psuedacanthicus sp. L25, L273, Trachelichthys? Exilis,Tatia? Perugiae. ....L46;
Acarichthys Heckelii; Geophagus sp. Red Tapajos; Geophagus Altifrons....Uaru Fernandezyepezi.
Liosomodoras oncinus.....Oh, African Synodontis as well!
