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.

Of course! In due time! :)
I know weve talked about this before but i cant help but bring it up again. Looking at cdms blondy and ghost they have similar headshapes...more blocky. Looks like the darker ones have bullet type heads. Yoy notice that or is it just a similarity between these two (ghost and cdm's)

Probably just a similarity. I've seen quite a few variation in congicus! Blonde with longer flat heads. Seen some with blocky heads.
