Polypterus Congicus photo thread.

Another beastly collection from Takeshi Mikami in Japan. He's got many showpiece monster bichirs in his tank. Congicus, sp. Dabola, Ansorgii, PBB, Endli, Laps. I apologize in advance for the quality. Screenshotting a video.

I forgot if I ever posted these photos but Solomon David took these photos of Ricky's (infblue)monster Congicus before it went to the public aquarium. Quality is poor. Sorry about that. Congicus probably around 30".

Back in 2013 when my buddy Ray (Amazing Fish) imported bichirs. A lot of Congicus were DOA. But about 100 pieces made it.

Godzilla was from Wes. He imported congicus in 2009/2010. They were like 55 bucks a piece. Congicus were cheaper back then.

The 31" congicus is finally in the new owners tank. Thanks bro Shaik Ahmad Hussien for letting me share these photos. I believe the congicus is chillin with the 33" ansorgii in one of the photo! Singapore is stepping up their monster poly games. Looking forward to seeing how this beast develops in a few months.
