Syns are easy, hardy fish, that don't really require any special care. Water should be in the upper 70s and NLS pellets are a sure bet for optimal nutrition. They tend to be fairly peaceful, but I have heard of some with a bit of aggression issues. They eat like pigs and grows fast.
Syns Grow very fast! I have one and hes a big at 2". He eats even tilapia that may rays eat lol I have him in the tank since hes small and quick and rays can't eat him.
They like a lot of fruits and veggies from time to time. Mango has been successful for me as well as zucchini.
+1. Their diet in the wild is more flora than fauna, so try not to go too heavy on animal protein
Ok so I will do a bit of research on the native fruits Are they known to eat aquatic plants
I agree, that a pellet high in plant vitamins and spirulina would work well. These are not piscavores so feeding fish flesh would not be a main ingredient in their natural diet.
Nice, I plan on getting some from rapps as well whenever my tank decides to fully cycle.
Keep us updated with pics please.
