Hi!

I just made this pic (one of my better ones imo :))

and wondered about the shape=>use of the upper jaw teeth. An explanation of how they use this in the wild would be great.

welllll

in the tank, this one is actually a very good algaescraper! they can give a regular Pleco a run for the money.....

I would think that they do this in the wild as well.
IME there's only one Syno that's even a better scraper: S contractus.
