Looking good. I have had my syn for 10 years! For the first few years I swore I was the only one who owned one because I never seen any elsewhere. Make sure to feed it alot of veggie matter in its diet.

I have some home made food i feed (lots of veggies) but dont feed it too often

maybe I'll feed it more

A veggie based pellet is fine, algea waffers, mine loves pea's and romain lettuce.

Thats a very nice syn. I'm hoping mine starts to look better..lol

can you suggest any good veggie pellets? The JD he is in with wont share algae wafers (eats ALL that go in the tank)

I am currently feeding a mix of hikari staple, gold and wheat germ
while they have veggies, are not veggie based.

So any thoughts of what I can add in? or will this mixed with homemade food(peas cale, spinach, prawns, lots of goodeies) once a week be enough?

DeepSouth, any pics?
