[andyourblueblood]

anyone have any nice polypterus pics?

 

[Fruitbat]

I've got quite a few of them. Is there any particular species of Polypterus that you want to see pictures of?

jesus Fruitbat that del and the ornate are stunning, i've never seen any with markings like those before.

 

[DarkEntity]

I was going to say the same thing, the Del and Ornate look like hybrids. Ive seen a few threads about this on other forums lately.

Fruitbat those are the nicest birchirs I have ever seen.Amazing

 

[Fruitbat]

Thanks for the kind words...

Neither the P. delhezi nor the P. ornatipinnis are hybrids. The P. delhezi is a particularly nicely-marked one that I got from Toyin at Rehoboth Aquatics and the P. ornatipinnis is definitely one of the most brilliantly marked specimens that I've ever had.

Here's another shot of each of those fish:

always enjoy showing off my fish (about the lump in his tummy, i think he swallowed a piece of gravel when i was unaware they did such a thing, hes had it for over a year now)

EDIT, got another pic of the bichir

he hides a lot so its kinda hard to get a pic.

EDIT #2, got some better ones
