New to Polypterus - Substrate Advice!

haha score is 1-1-1, thanks for making it easy for me! I think I've eliminated gold dust as an option, I really like teugs and ansorgi. I think the choice might come down to whichever is available least often. I've found places with both right now. Do you guys know which of the two are harder to find?

Wc teugs are rarer AFAIK.

 

[ShanerBock888]

yeah that's what I thought. Think I'm gonna pull the trigger on a teug.

Just got these guys a 300 gal for when they get a bit bigger, so its not like I can't fit the Ansorgii later!

Teug is more rare if its wc, i dont like the look of cb teug, just ask DMD123

 

[ShanerBock888]

Are the cb teugs the more yellow ones? I've seen pics of some that are like radioactive yellow almost

not sure. I've seen some cb that have the opposite-really brown tails instead of the gold. It probably has to do with what genetics the breeders are going for. Personally, I like the gold tail better, but I have yet to see any radioactive yellow. Weird.

Any body have any good WC Teugelsi pictures?

WC Teug are only offered in large sizes 15-18" plus sizes and ridiculously expensive these days $300-350 and up. It's due to rarity and difficulty of them being caught. WC have a more squared head/face and symmetrically thinned shape from head to tail. Usually brighter orange/yellows on them as well.
