Just some random shots of the Turkana sens that I took during a waterchange from several weeks ago.

some more recent shots of the Turk, next to my smallest senegal (7.5”)
Wow. Amazing specimen. Really strange color morph for a Turkana sen or is this just lighting.

I wonder if Toyin still being these from lake Turkana
What do you mean by “strange color morph”?
Toyin hasn’t imported from Turkana since maybe 2020/2021. Just not enough demand for it.

Dwarfs the smaller albino Senegal.
I don't have any albino senegal anymore. The one you see is a marbled senegal (reduced marbling).

Thanks Hao Hao for taking the time to post. Amazing collection. Wish I can like multiple times.

I was referring to the color on this sen . I have see. Three sen from Turkana so far. One is this , one is some other thread which was little bit lighter with stripes visible and third one was greenish in color. But all were long kinds cylindrical with no bulging eyes.
