One of the main differences that separates the two is their size -\u003cem\u003e S. petricola\u003c\/em\u003e may reach 5\" while \u003cem\u003eS. lucipinnis\u003c\/em\u003e rarely outgrows 3.5\". Most \u003cem\u003eSynodontis\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003eSynodontis lucipinnis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dwarf Petricola\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.6-8.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72-82°\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAggressiveness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peaceful\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lake Tanganyika, Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaptive Bred or Wild\u003c\/strong\u003e: Captive Bred\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/collections\/food-feeders\/products\/small-crumbled-fish-food?variant=10767295681\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eFlake or pellet\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lake Tanganyikan cichlids, Lake Malawi cichlids, catfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTank Mate Options\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/products\/synodontis-multipunctatus-cuckoo-catfish?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=bf2e20d1b\u0026amp;_ss=r\u0026amp;variant=31111763984407\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSynodontis multipunctatus\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/collections\/african-cichlids\/products\/cyrtocara-blue-moorii?variant=10695348289\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eBlue Dolphin\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/collections\/african-cichlids\/products\/julidochromis-marlieri-lake-tanganyika\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eJulidochromis marlieri\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"0.5-1\" Unsexed","offer_id":45611723948339,"sku":"F-51","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-2\" Unsexed","offer_id":45611723981107,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3\" Unsexed","offer_id":51114616684851,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6524\/2419\/files\/DwarfPetricola.jpg?v=1732042867","url":"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/products\/dwarf-petricola-synodontis-lucipinnis","provider":"Imperial Tropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
