WC Senegalus from lake Turkana grow the largest, but most Sens sold are CB on fish farms.

oh really that seems tiny compared to what I expected the albino senegal to get
I was going with the 16-20 range so 10-13 seems a lot smaller now for sure lol
So then I should not get a teugelsi then if I have the albino senegal right
I dont want it to be another bichirs snack
I wanted to get it another bichir friend in ur opinion what would be the best bichir to put in with the albino then?

the wild caught senegals from that lake are they the Polypterus senegalus meridionalis not the Polypterus senegalus senegalus?

if not can someone please explain the difference to me between these 2 types of senegals?

I dont think they are the same, not sure. But there are alot nice bichir that grow to 10"-13". Most bichir that grow that size are upper jaws. The big 3 upper jaw that grow big are teugelsi, ornate & weeksii.
