Another fun poly topic to discuss.

So share your thoughts on man made polys... long fin, albino, platinum, short bodied or any others

Love it or leave it?
 
Leave them....I like the natural look. Just my preference. I'm not the only one when I see all the wc polys being bought recently.
 
This one is a tough call because I like some man made poly's. I love the platnium endli and albino sens. I also like the look of the long fin sen.

What I dont like is short bodied bichir or some captive born traits. I put the cb under man made because technically they are. The more I look at my cb teugelsi, I think it looks weird, lol

Since three out of four of my poly are wild caught, it really does show where my true like is, natural looking bichir.
 
Not a fan of longfin, shortbody or platinum. I have no issues with cb infact i like them.
 
This guy rules! How can you not like it? Lol

I dunno, I like all variations. I would probably snag a platinum or another short body if I wasnt worried about sudden death syndrome.

I had a stunner of a super short bodied endli back in 12' that died with no symptoms, never found any causes.

I love those longfins. They're like the closest thing in my opinion to a water dragon. I REALLY WISH THE ALBINOS WOULD GROW TO 12! I hate that I'm nervous about him getting eaten.
