My first Polypterus

[Hao]

Hello! I picked up my 1st polypterus in a long time! When I first started the hobby in 2007, my 1st bichir was also a 3" ornate. Now I'm finally back in the hobby with an ornate. Starting slow. Picked up this 3" ornate about an hour ago! I haven't used my camera in awhile, going to take me sometime to get used to. Hope you guys enjoy the photos. (Tank is 5x2x2. in case anyone was wondering).

Nice ornate, your really starting small
Love the idea on growing polys, i started with a three 1"-2" senegal, then i feel in love with them, the more research i do the more i fell into poly world.

Damn bro those pics look magazine worthy...... love ornates tied with endli for my top spot. Looks great.


I like the idea of going slow too gives you time to plan out the stocking. Any thoughts on no. 2
