Ooh, I love that face shot. From what I can tell mine has a different facial structure than yours slightly.

High 30-low 40 (I don't count them) divided among 3 tanks.

The difference in body form and face shape is intriguing to say the least! I wonder what the colour would be like on dark substrate. My Nigerian sen went a nice olive colour

It'll probably vary per fish. Here some more shots after feeding

This is truly an amazing fish!

Added garnet sand for them. I think turkana grew half an inch. Looks even bigger now!

Very nice, I keep seeing bichir keepers getting this sand, do you know where one can get it and if it comes in a light purple color? Not sure what I would do with a light purple version of this sand but I'll find something to do.
