local fish stores and their distributers often struggle on correctly identifying polys. i put together a small guide that may help the new bichir owners.
the most common mistake i have seen is the "palmas" bichir. if they are not specific on what type of palmas(ie... polli, buetikoferi, or palmas palmas) than it is usually not a palmas but a common senegal. senegals are also labeled as dinosaur eels. 99.9% of all morphs like albino and longfin varieties are senegals too.
