Found this little gem while surfing:

1) Sturgeon juvenile
2) Sturgeon skull
3) Polyuranodon spathula (paddlefish)
4) Big Polypterus senegalus!
5) Erpetoichthys calabaricus (reedfish)

Geez. how big is that sen?

Not sure, it looks 12", but the tail is bent, probably around 13-14"!!! :headbang2

The info card covering the polypteriformes, has the ropefish listed as 'calamoichtyes' which is an old taxym for that fish. I'm guessing this was setup in the early to mid 90's, bichirs weren't as popular back then as they are now, so I'm guessing it was a wild caught one near full size.
