Lets Show Off those Polypterus!

Nice pickup Attack! Good looking juvie with very nice yellow colour.

I really dig the ornates that have almost solid black dorsal finlets. Looks crazy when they're full grown with that trait.

Here you go, my two tanks of ancient fishes!

Bro, thanks! But they are all pretty common unlike what you can find in your country.

You can get a better picture by using a macro setting on your digital camera.
Also try using no flash. And it should turn out better. I learn that and the picture in my avatar of my senegal turned out pretty good.
Do you have any pics of you 11" senegal in your 125.

Damn tigerlover post more pics soon man, that's a nice collection of beefy polys!

Draco, any issues with the CAE sucking on the bichirs or pestering them? I wanted to keep some gold ones, but was worried about them sucking on the slime of my bichirs, or just being to aggro with them.

TIA

I was worried about this as well but added 3 small CAE to clean my rocks.....

Next morning my 6 in Sen has a big lump and I now have 2 CAE....

Guess he decided to strike first....

Here's a pic of my P. Lapradei that's about 9" long.

He lives with a Jardini Arowana and a Redtail Catfish which are both about a foot long or so. They both seem to not even understand what my Bichir is, and look at him funny every time he comes out of the plants.

Your lapradei is actually an endli endli. I'd watch out for the jar and rtc because they can be both aggressive and your rtc will probably end up eating your endli.

The rtc is only a few inches longer then the bichir, and the arowana's about the same. They show no interest in him what-so-ever, but I always keep a cautioned eye on all 3 of them.

No offense at all is300zx, but can anyone else confirm this is an endli? This is the first bichir I've owned, so I can't identify the ones with markings from each other, was sold as Lapradei, but who knows with breeders.
