I think a LFS just got these in, and being so faded, it's hard for me to tell what they are, labeled "p. palmas" or "palmas bichir" at store. about 5" or so, and like 6 of em.IMG_20141218_185852721.jpgIMG_20141218_185837558.jpg

Another case of LFS mis identification. Lapradei all the way. (Nigerian CB)

Depending on the price, could be quite a deal for you.

The head on the one in the first pic almost looks like a PBB

I finally picked one up for $40, about 6-7" actually. still a bunch of them there, like 7-8 left. they still don't know what the have...labeled polypterus palmas. they are quite nice looking.

started to tell the girl that helped me, what they are, but backed off, she didn't seem to care and i didn't bother with owner

If you could post more pics of it when it's settled into your tank. I'm interested in seeing how these turn out
