new bicher species.the dinosaur eel

[MouthWash]

The specias the dinosaur eel is a type of bicher that is selling a petsmart for 10.99 they can get to be a real monster and will be up to 36 inches long.they are the best bicher around that is of my opinion.i bought 2 for my 810 and the are awsome.they are the easiest species of bicher to breed :hitting: .i looked at the bicher and the dinosaur eel and they were the same but had a 12.00 price differcence.

[M|L]

they're called senegalus bichirs, and they don't grow to 36 inches. you have a 810g tank? have pictures you would like to share? :)

[The TRUST]

Yes, they only grow about 12" max. But usually to 9-10"

YEs pics of your 810G please.

[MouthWash]

[The TRUST]

[beblondie]

To be correct they are *Polypertus sensgalus senegalus they grow to approx.10-12 inches with females tending to be larger than males.My petsmart sells them for 5.99.They have only recently started to be farm bred and are the most common species of the bichirs avaikable.They also in seem to be the one of the most active and a great first bichir congrats you should love him oh they tend to be long lived 10-15 years is not unrealistic-Anne


*the double name is because there is a described subspecies.

i don't understand the purpose of this post...

[Neo Baron]

[danfong88]

wow... that is cheap for senegalus bicher. I just purchase one today... as tank mate with my red tail golden arowana...it looks a nice eel. But paid $ 30 bucks. for 6" length. So far I really like this fish.

[Weylin]

Sounds more like an 80g..tank..

[BichirAddict]

If you could give us the dimension of the tank we might be able to figure out if is truely a 810 gallon tank.

I think this species is UGLY! Ornate Bichirs look much better!

[Onion01]

nothing wrong with senegals. In fact, I think that their activity and personalities makeup for their small size and plain colors. I like my senegals much more than my ornate

[moonchild1970]
