Description
Dwarf Petricola (Synodontis lucipinnis) - 0.5-1" Unsexed. Remarks : The Dwarf Petricola gets its name from the similarities it shares with Synodontis petricola , which is rarely imported into the hobby. One of the main differences that separates the two is their size - S. petricola may reach 5" while S. lucipinnis rarely outgrows 3.5". Most Synodontis are nocturnal and will forage for food at night. They are peaceful fish but may sneak into a cave to eat the spawn of a Lake Tanganyikan cichlid. They make ideal tankmates for most Tanganyikan cichlids and, if they are large enough, can be kept with Malawi cichlids as well.
