This might very well be a silly question. There is a group of six petricola up for sale on Aquabid (http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1139504897). I'm keeping a pretty large selection of various synodontis, NOT including petricola. To my uneducated eye the fish on AquaBid look much more like some sort of microsynodontis. (I'd definitely be interested in those.) Would anyone mind taking a look and letting me know? Thanks.

Hi!

im no expert on these but they look pretty genuine. And the text also states that they are just 4 months old so thats why they look pretty undeveloped. The white dorsal ray makes me think they are what they are said to be. The price also seems qhite allright for 8 fish.

Microsynodontis would have a truncate (not forked) caudal fin.

If you want Microsynodontis, check with Toyin Ojo of Rehoboth Aquatics if he still has any.
