Thx guys for ur nice comments
She is very,very active and swims everywhere.
No shy at all and she likes to rest together with my bonded pair of Parachanna africana in their den

She's at 14cm now.
Eating well a frozen prawns and squids.
Cheers.

Love her. She is super friendly! Haven't seen one of these types of polys before on the site. Also neat bunch of fish you have in the tank!

I know. Just a bad joke.. noh f_ckin way! Nice! Where did it come from? Yours? Any chance it's a teugelsei? Any Side pics

It is for sure Polypterus palmas buettikoferi

It's from Japan. Believe it is actually 50 cm but missing a bit of it's tail fin. Also Infblue and King-eL had palmas buetti around 14"-15" if I am not mistaken.

Correct bro

Might be a teugelsi not a gold dust

Buettikoferi for sure

Love her. She is super friendly! Haven't seen one of these types of polys before on the site. Also neat bunch of fish you have in the tank!

Thx bro
I got 2 Ctenopoma acutirostre,2 Parachanna africana and 2 Pelvicachromis pulcher

Some update.
I have this PPB for almost 6 months.
Never ever had most shy fish than this girl....
Dont see her much at all.
It is a real nocturnal species.
Active but only at night time.
During the day hide most of the time.
She has grow a little and got ticker.
Is not easy to take a good photo of her.

lol when I saw PBB I was thinking the other one

 

[Vancouver_98683]

PBL is a Lapradei (polypterus bichir lapradei) . Confuses a quick bit. Abbreviations not used often as the Nile Bichir, PBB (polypterus bichir bichir)
