Hi I recently purchased what I think is a marbled bichir and I know they have a fancy and unusually thick slime coat thing going on more than other fish but is it normal to find strange clear goo around the tank where it rests and coming off its body? If not what is it and how do I treat it?

What does it mean when it says Dabola, Koliba, Koloton, Black Volta, Volta or Faranah??? and what is the difference between, them do they look different? Example: Polypterus endlicheri "Black Volta" (northern) Polypterus endlicheri "Volta" (southern) Polypterus endlicheri "Faranah Guinea" Also...

I am planning to go get a saddled bichir and i wanted to know what is a good organism to go through and "clean" the sand. I also am thinking of getting some live plants for it so i don't want it to harm the plants. Then when the bichir gets bigger i am going to put it into a large tank with my...

I bought this guy yesterday from one member in my local poly lovers group. He labeled it as '18cm Highfin Endlicheri' and set price at $5. After I bought it and put it in my aquarium I just realized that some of its morphology looks like a lap. Is it pure endli or hybrid lapxendli? What do you...

Hi, I am new to this forum but am finding I need some help. I just recently purchased a new tank from Craiglist and the guy that sold it to me wanted to rehome his bichirs. So he told me they were an ornate, endilicheri, and delhezi.. but other than the very obvious ornate I am not so sure or...

Looks like my Senegal ate one of the cherry barbs last night and now he floats. I have a quick video but am waiting for it to transfer.

Hey all! First off: it's been, oh, about two thousand years since I posted here, and I've missed you. Second, I was super excited to walk into the LFS the other day and spot a 7" lap sitting on the bottom of the oddball tank. He was labeled P. palmas, and priced at $75, so I got him for a...

So this is Brutus' growth from January 24 to today! He's already roughly doubled in size. Though it's hard to tell since, as you can see, he's quite the elusive little guy. I'm already planning the frantic tank switching I'm gonna have to do when he starts eating the smaller fish in the tank.
