S. petricola and/or lucipinnis: please take a look

Short video:

Could be a mix as they were bought in two separate groups (as "petricola")

From reading other posts here I guess it is most likely they are lucipinnis.

Is there any way to sex them from the video?

Thanks for reading/looking.

The video doesn't play & goes black after an instant so i can't say for sure but it looks very much like you have a group of lucipinnis - there appears to way of sexing them from the video - a clear side-on shot of the genital papillae is needed

Sorry you had problems with the video Richard. It seems ok on Safari and Firefox, what were you using?

Plays fine on my iPhone , these are indeed lucipinnis.

Petricola are pretty scarce compared to lucipinnis. Lucipinnis cost £5-£20 each depending on size etc Petrica cost £15-£70 per fish depending on size & tb or wc

Thank you. I'll have a go at breeding them soon.
