Oh I see. I wonder if there's anyone out there who breeds for good genetics.Nice fish, they are so cute when they are small. It is not only the amount of room that they have in the wild, but also the genes of wild senegals is better then WC, and due to bad genetics captive breed fish will never reach the same size as wild caught ones.
Good job catching the bichir bug though, I started with two senegalus's to, now I have over 10.
Oh no xD haha, I can see myself with 10 in the future. How large is your tank? Are all 10 in the same tank or different tanks?

Welcome to the Bichir addiction. I started with a 6" Ornate. I now have 6 bichirs including 4 different species and I ordered 3 more which should be here around the 1st of September. Can't wait!
It seems a lot of people catch the bichir bug I bought some from petsmart too. They just looked so cool. Now I have my ornate and delhezi.

Everything I've read has male CB senegals hitting 8 inches only and rarely bigger. My own experience has them slowing their growth north of 7 inches, with small bursts here and there but tapering off close to 8 inches for males. I've seen some females around 12 inches, but more likely they are no more than 10. Never seen a senegal more than about 12 inches, but that one was absurdly big so I assume it was WC.
