My (5") featherfin doesnt bother my little (1.5) S. lucipinnis at all. I mean he really didnt like them at first but never hurt them, now he pals around with them like old buddies! You could try it, just be ready to remove him.

These guys are so small and so fast there is no way I would be able to see something small on them. Seems like none of the LFS in my area know what they are selling, I have to tell them what they have and explain why that fish has whit polka dots all over it. I think I should get payed! :wink: I ...

No I cant understand it either. Maybe it would help if I knew what the pore wass but I dont so . . . does anybody else?

Yes thats what made me wonder about the 'petracola' I have. They are great little fish and more active than any other catfish Ive kept. I also like how they stand up to my S. fryeri (big bully hap, incase you dont keep cichlids). They're so small and they bite back! Something my eruptus wont do.

That kind of really sucks, however Im going to keep them becauze ive grown too attached!
I think my S. eruptus enjoys their company to sooo . . . their here to stay.

Anybody else who agrees or disagrees about the lucipinnis please post.

I can post more if needed, sorry about the big size but i couldnt scale them down any.

So the spots on the head should be smaller than the spots on the body?
Is that correct for cats as small as 1" long?

How do you tell the difference between the two?
Iv already bought 3 'petricola' for $60 I really hope I got what I payed for!
