Here is a video of my bichir tank and a picture of my newest bichir.
Is it me or does the new guy look like he's planning something truly diabolical?
Love the endlicheri and the ornate! Those are the two I have as well. May look into a lapradei to add to my stock. I’m super jealous of your red shoulder severum! Can’t find them out here.
Yeah, my endlicheri is one of the nicest I've seen of the species and is really active. Probably my favourite I own. I wish my big ornate had come out, she's probably pushing 15" now. Lapradei have so many variants and potential subspecies that you definitely won't regret one. And thanks, when he fires up he's an awesome fish.
Can't unsee.
That’s awesome, I’ll have to do some research on the different variants and start looking for one!
Nice fish and set-up. Mind me asking where you get your Polys from? I'm living in the Fraser Valley and selection is limited. Picked up a small 3" Lap today but have only seen endlis, ornates and sens since living here.
I'm assuming you're a member of the lower mainland and B.C. Facebook groups? Make a post in there looking for rare bichirs and one of the most knowledgeable bichir people you'll come across will almost guaranteed reply. They're not cheap though, $150-$700 range depending on species. Or search for recent posts about bichirs, and you'll find one where he replied. Sometimes they come through Fish Addicts as well.
I’m a member of Aquarium and Fish Hobbyist of BC only-is that what you mean?
The Lap I picked up today from Fish Addicts
No, join British Columbia Aquarium Hobbyists Club and search "less common bichir" to find the post.
Did you get the lap from the first isle or the other bay in the back? If you got the one from the first isle, it's growth is going to be slower, so definitely try to pound it with food.
