I could probably hunt down some nice sized ropes at the LFS... but I'm going to use whatever space I have to get the rest of the species. I need retropinnis, weeksi, p. palmas and bichir bichir *who doesn't??* - once I've got those I'm going to go back and get a few more juvie endlies. My tanks are no where near big enough but I think we'll be gettin a house by the time the lower jaws and ornates need more room. Good news is that my boyfriend (i'm sure he'll read this later... hi honey!) got super interested in bichirs too - I don't have to sneak them in the house disguised as bags of feeders anymore

Did yall notice cyclops is really missing an eye? There's just a big dip in the side of his face... no actual eyeball. A lap took it off at the LFS so they sold me the del for 10 bucks. He spends most of his time laying just like that - his one guy facing the tank and other fish, the empty socket almost touching the glass.

Great collection of bichir (both quantity and species). The last 2nd is very interesting, please post more pics of it.
