Wow. Just holy wow. Look at how thick across the back that monster is!

My iPad isn't drool,proof you know...;)

O
I know most of you have seen Godzilla like a hundred times but LOL here she is again. I'm pretty darn sure CDM's congicus(27"-28") is much more massive than Godzilla(25").

The rest of these photos are when Godzilla was 25" or very close to 25"

Godzilla(She actually was not 25" yet in these photo) vs. Soda can. She actually got a bit larger after few months later.

Looks like it's Infblue's largest congicus was like 27" a few years back. Possibly pushing 30" by now. If it's still alive, it should be at an aquarium/university in the East Coast along with the rest of his bichirs (undergoing studies with them). ATM they are doing a study on sp.Dabola I think. Don't remember the details.

This is Mr. Takenori Saiko from Japan's collection. These photos are in 2015-2016. I honestly think he has one of the best(if not the best) bichir collection around! Some of these bichirs look very old too! Most of them range from 20"-30". I forgot how large the tank was but definitely not a small tank just some monster bichirs. He's got turkana/chad pbb, ansorgiis, sp.dabola,endlis and ofc congicus! All of his Congicus are so monster. That's one of my dream tanks to have at least 4-5 24"+ Congicus swimming around like him.

I really like this photo, you can see 3 sp. Dabola at monster size along with a monster Guinean endli.
