breeding syno. petricola?

[creep]

i have what i believe to be syno. petricola.

i am using the flower pot with a bowl of marbles.
however i want to put a layer of plastic and silicone it to the flower pot and drill holes in the plastic.

1. is this a good idea or should i just place the pot in the bowl of marbles.

2. how big should the holes be if this would be a good idea.

I will try to get some pics. i have a group of 5. not sure of the ratio.

thanks

sorry bout the horrible pictures, but can you tell if these are true petricola? also the largest is from head to tail 3 inches. There are 3 about that size, and i have 2 that are about 2 inches but have much rounder bellies. would these be the females.

Not the best images but I would say

Synodontis lucipinnis

Due to the wider spaced spots on the head and the larger spots on the body, what I can see of the window on the anal fin.

In the first picture the vertical fish is a male.

but have much rounder bellies. would these be the females.

Yes, most likely.

Did you do a forum search, there is a lot of information on these to be had?

i suspected they were lucipinnis when i got them. and i even said as much to the seller.
