What Birchir

[melvinator]

hi all im trying to find out which bircher this is as so many pictures on net but i still cant find an article how to tell difference as i was told when i bought her with tank she was very rare and the previous owner spent some money on her. the thing is im not sure if i want to keep her as it limits what other fish i could put in tank but she is a beautiful fish with so much detail.

if anyone knows about these birchirs and roughly what they do sell for etc it be good. id like to know just what specimen of birchir she is more than anything else as me and partner are putting bets on it now lol

come on peeps name that fish lol

Looks like an ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) to me.
