In the feature my plans are a tank upgrade, I am currently running a 220 gallon tank - it will be upgraded to an 8 or a 10 feet tank, but it depends on what the misses allows :naughty:. In my favor the kids are crazy about the fish, my 2.5 year old son loves the Bichirs, calls them dinosaurs and my daughter absolutely loves the Arowana.
I am currently looking for an Ansorgii and a Gisela''s Bichir, but this is nearly impossible in the Netherlands. Very few get imported. the Ansorgii is a rarity and when it comes available it is immediatly sold out. The Gisela's Bichir is nothing but a dream, never ever seen one for sale in the Netherlands...

Very nice fish, I very much agree with Hao that it is the same fish. That is actually very cool to see a fish with so much history

As for the size piece, It is only topical when very large sizes are put out there. To the OP it comes with the territory and not a sign of disrespect. Fish that size are very rare and having one is special, you know as well as any of us, that many fish sizes are rounded up on forums and FB. I have several large ones that have been questioned over the years and I understand why as one in particular is abnormally large for its species. Like you I am not willing to stress it and net it out of the tank but happy to show pics that illustrate its size. Hell I have about 2000 pics of my fish. Ultimately it’s your fish and a great fish, enjoy it but understand.

Thank you for your reply, I just got very tired of all the mistrust and false accusations. I joined MFK for the nice ambiance and how people treat eachother here. In the Netherlands there is not a nice community giving support to eachother. Only beating eachother down and waving the righteous finger all the time. It got the better of me, I am quick to reply negative comments - this is not my best trait. Thank you for your kind words.
