My tank is 143 gallons and I have 3 syno the other 2 chase her around all day even though they are smaller than her.When adults synos can be sexed.The female will have a flap covering her opening where the male will not.

Nice syno, it's not a petricola though they have white markings and stay small. I think max size is 3" it looks like a multipunctatus to me. Either way it's a nice fish.
 
She doesn't look like my 2 cuckoos.Her colour is darker and the spots on her nose are way smaller.Ive had quite a few condradicting views on her type.Thought I had it sussed but it seems not lol

Yeah she doesn't look like my petricola. They don't sit still long enough for me to get a good pic.
