Can anyone tell me? Are they the lucipinnis? I didn't buy them cause I had no idea what they were but thought they were adorable! So small!! Granted they are prob babies but way smaller then my eupterus babies were.

Hybrids. Nicely patterned, but still. Very likely one parent is a Tanganjika Syno.
