Questions About ShortBody

Senegals are tricky to judge. They can all differ in growth rate, so your may not be a SB, but just a senegal with a slow growth rate. Sometimes people say a poly may chunk up or fatten up before growing length wise. The amount of time to determine weather it is or isn't a SB should be about 4 months more. If you don't see any growth then it's most likely a SB. Another way to tell is if it's head is out of proportion of the body. So if you look at a picture of a normal 3" albino senegal and compare yours. If yours is a SB its head will be big on a small body. If it is a SB then the market can be unpredictable. Some will pay more than others for a SB. Also if you are planning to sell locally that makes it harder because you have to find someone who would want one and what price range they think it's worth. Depending on your area you could sell it for a decent amount or barely anything.

Hello...... take some good pictures..... post.......and we will tell you!! I have "normal", semi short body, short body, super short body, and long finned albino senegalus.

Yeah I'm limited to what I've read. Frank has hands on so he's more credible

Looks "semi short body". Probably will max at 6"s. Many albino senegalus don't grow like their counterparts. Even regular albino sengalus tend to max at 7"-8".... not saying there aren't larger, but not common.

Albino short body senegalus for comparison.
