Polypterus Congicus photo thread.

He lost all the fish in there or just a few as I seen the beutt mixed with the big bichirs now?

I lost lots of bichirs too while I was on my vacation. I just kept wondering why I only lost the bichirs and not the other fish that are more sensitive. The fishsitter might have done something wrong. Then I opened up the belly of the dead bichirs and founded lots of shrimp/prawm shells. He probably just dumped the shrimp/prawn or just peeled them off and feed the shell and took the meat for his own consumption. Made the bichirs ate the shells as they were probably starving and force to eat the shells. One of the bichir I lost was my very own favorite bichir too. My bullet head nigerian lapradei. Biggest lap I ever had and probably biggest lap here in MFK but he's gone now.

I think he lost majority of his upper jaw fish in the other tank, not sure he just said he said the upper jaws in his other tank died. Dam sucks to hear man!

is this a male or female?? can anyone tell??

That beast was female.

that actually looks like male to me. were you told it was female when you got it or something?

He's been using red gravel for few months. I love his Aros and Gar and Congicus! Amazing collection but such a pity, he lost the upper jaw bichirs in his other tank.

oh man sorry to hear about CDM's upper jaw bichirs that sucks

Wish I can find another one like that, doesn't matter of what size as long as it look like my former bullethead lap. Been sending pics to my supplier to selectively get me that particular lapradei. So far no luck.

@Hao
That congis looks really nice!! Wow wish I can go diving with bichirs.
