Which Species of Polypterus are Captive Bred?

[Vancouver_98683]

Anyone actually see a monster CB teugelsi ? I haven't and wondering if they do actually get that big

Not monster lengths, but admirable sizes. My friends' CB Teug when it jumped. Was fully stretched at close to 17". Grew it out for about 4-5 years. He's also got a 14-15" teug that I may pick up in the near future. Few months ago there was a couple 17"- 18" for sale 3 hours North of me. Another 16" about 1 hour south (use to be mine).

I recently ordered a fish from online and was labeled as a red tiger , I know this fish can be mistaken for other species and I wanna know what species is it or is it a red tiger.

No worries bud ask away. We always talk about our bichir tankmates in here.

Lol, yep the infamous Jabba the Hutt. I never did ask the buyer what came of it. Looked normal after I starved it back to size.
