O odalisay Candiru MFK Member Mar 1, 2006 479 4 48 50 At the foot of the cross Jul 8, 2007 #2 It probably is a senegal bichir. Some lfs name senegals "congo bichir". Here is a link to some pics of a P. congicus: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54881&page=5&highlight=polypterus+congicus One of the biggest differences is that in a "true" congicus bichir has a protruding lower lip versus the protruding upper lip of the senegal bichir. Hope this helps.
