Synodontis Petricola "Pink" – Species OverviewOverview®The Synodontis petricola "Pink", also known as the Dwarf Cuckoo Catfish, is a striking variation of the standard Synodontis petricola. This small, peaceful catfish is well-loved for its unique pinkish coloration, active nature, and ability to thrive in community aquariums. It is a hardy and adaptable species, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
Origin®Native to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa, Synodontis petricola is naturally found in rocky environments with plenty of hiding spots. The "Pink" variation is a selectively bred form that retains the same behaviours and care requirements as the wild type.
Feeding®Synodontis petricola "Pink" is an omnivore, consuming a varied diet of:
High-quality sinking pellets
Frozen and live foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia)
Vegetable matter (blanched zucchini, cucumber, spirulina)
Flake food and algae wafers
A well-balanced diet will enhance their health and coloration.
Tank Mates®This species is peaceful and social, making it ideal for community tanks. Compatible tank mates include:
Other peaceful Tanganyikan cichlids (such as Altolamprologus and smaller Neolamprologus species)
Other Synodontis species
Peaceful tetras, barbs, or danios
Bottom dwellers like Corydoras (in non-Tanganyikan setups)
Avoid aggressive or highly territorial species that may bully or outcompete them for food.
Aggression®Synodontis petricola "Pink" is generally non-aggressive, though they may show slight territorial behavior toward their own species, especially in confined spaces. Keeping them in small groups of 3-5 will help reduce stress and encourage natural behaviours.
Experience Level
Beginner to Intermediate
Hardy and easy to care for, but requires stable water conditions typical of Lake Tanganyika biotopes.
Water Parameters
Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)
pH: 7.5–9.0 (slightly alkaline)
Hardness: 10–20 dGH
Tank Size: Minimum 20–30 gallons, but larger is better for groups
Filtration: Strong filtration with moderate water flow to maintain high oxygen levels and water clarity
Final Thoughts®The Synodontis petricola "Pink" is an excellent addition to a Tanganyikan or community aquarium, offering both beauty and interesting behaviours. Its adaptability and peaceful nature make it a great choice for aquarists looking to add an active bottom-dweller to their setup.

Id still wear a bit to stretch them to my shape as a good day old pair of jeans fits. they're very cute and i love them. im not willing to go up a size lol cuz the tightness is all on me:)

Cute but runs small
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I’m usually a large, but these pants were tight around my the hip/ bum area. And not as barrel as the picture showed. I’m 5’2” and the length was perfect. The drawstring serves zero purpose, just for looks. The color and patch work of the pants are so cute too. I will be exchanging for a size up so hopefully that helps

Get lots of compliments.
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
These are awesome! I get lots of compliments. I took out the string/rope belt and just wear a regular belt because the rivets look cheap but it works.

I got ripped off
Size: Large, Color: Blue
Loops were missing for belt. I returned for a different pair hoping it was a defect. Received another with the same problem. The denim ones have 6 loops. The white have only 4. So impossible to loop correctly. After I received the second pair they charged me for the ones I returned. So I paid for 2 pairs only kept one

High waisted, heavy duty, no stretch jeans
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
I liked them, except they were high waisted which are not a good look for me.
