lucipinnis

these are captive breds and few people breed the true petricola

i've bred them and even at a tiny size the true petricola has many small spots on the head.

still very nice fishes; my first bunch of Tanganyikan cats were a group of lucipinnis wich I build up gradually.

i started with 1.....a wee lil' 1 inch baby 'petricola', since they had only 1.

bought 2 other about 6 months after that, 2 subadults arrived about 6 months later (gift from Marc) and then 1 big female as lastcomer. that group bred and bred and bred.......

S lucipinnis is well worth keeping IMO.

I had seen them a week before actually buying them.
I thought as long as there Petricola or lucipinnis and not hybrids they look like fun.
