Wet spot's Polypterus cf. lapradei "Koliba"

I am 99% sure all of those r cb Nigerians not kolibas they just use that name

F1 koliba from wild caught parents extremely rare. Not sure what the secret recipe for this cf. Is. Some do look nice as juveniles. I'd like to see these as adults. Especially, the light brown variety.

But im not confident that its a cb koliba like Askaleymanfish mentioned.

What happened to the color? The ones you posted a while back were a light brown base. It's now a gray/silver base

I think its the substrate, cause when i got them they were light brown, lolz

I think I like it better now that it's adjusted to the substrate. cool looking either way though

I honestly don't like these CB Koliba. May just be me, but they are nothing compared to the WC ones. The juveniles appear nice as they are young with distinct patterns, but they never develop into the same quality patterns as WC koliba. To me they even get worse as they mature as their patterns begin to become disarrayed and disoriented. The first one that I've seen hace any good patterns as it matured was the one Vancouver posted, and even then I'd much rather prefer WC. Just my 2 cents tho
