I have 2 synspilum myself and they have become one of my favorite fish! It has really been a joy to watch them grow and change from their juvenile brownish color to the bright colors now!
I'm really pleased I picked this fish up... it'd been languishing in that shop for a few weeks now looking unhappy and now hes in his new home colored up and mixing well... Couldn't be happier!
I thought I'd share these latest pics of my Synspilum... It's really put on quite a bit of size and bulk and I'm almost sure its a male now.... hes beat up all the other fish in the tank and they've had to be moved into a seperate tank... Hes just sharing with a few Convicts and a large male Firemouthiti....
