Syno Lucipinnis Advice

Post by Synofan1222 »

Hey guys, I just got three new Lucipinnis at about an inch and a half. I currently have them set up similarly to my Polli. (Lots if rocks and crevasses) What's their favorite foods? And how fast will they grow? I have them on a high protein diet and lots of water changes. I plan on getting three more before too long. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks! Trent

I use mostly NLS pellets, mysis and bloodworms.

One thing with these is that they are highly sensitive to any changes in their water conditions (more than most synos) more smaller changes are better than one big changes IMO.

They are relatively slow growing so of course optimum conditions for best growth.

Ok, Great! I already have all of those.

I had noticed that they were much more sluggish after I got them in the tank, than my other synos. Glad you told me that, Thanks!

Oh, and, How often should I feed them? I was planning on once daily.
