Synodontis Petricola (Lucipinnis?)...Compatability??
Posted: 28 Jan 2007, 01:39
Hi everyone!
I've just received two petricola's as a gift, but am very unsure as to their compatability with my tank. I was admiring them in the pet store a few days ago, and the man said that they do well with cichlids, but would definitely get along in my tank (20 G w/5 neons). However, I was just reading about them online and am worried that my substrate (medium-sized gravel) could harm their barbells, or that they will be too big when the mature (they're about 1" right now). Also, are "fake logs" with some caves, and some medium-sized live plants enough hiding places?
Thanks for helping out a VERY confused catfish newbie!
