Albino Senegal

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Beautiful albino. :) How large do the regular ones usually get? Mine is still stuck at 6-6.5 inches.
I believe 10"-12" is their average max size but someone had a 13"? I can't remember how big mine was. I want to say 9"-10".

clm08k great pics, he's a thick looking lil' guy I like him.

I'll be putting it with my dels and sens only tank. Right now my orante is with my dels & sens but he'll be going into the other 120g once I finish that. My dels are 10" and my sens are 8" and 6" so if I get an albino that is 3" range I'll be putting him in the grow out tank which currently just has a 5" sen in it right now.
 
Just got back from the shop. I really should not be let to go to this shop unsupervised o_O:D Not only did I come home with the albino, but also grabbed another regular 3.5" Sen that was in the tank with it, as well as a young black ghost knife.

Got them floating in the grow out tank at the moment but will post some pics shortly.
 
Hahaha, whenever I'm allowed to go into a store that sells fish whoever let me go in there knows that if I get anything it's their fault lol.

Here are the new lil' guys. The larger Sen in the last pic is one I have had and been growing out for the past 5 months.
 
How big is the one you've been growing out?
 
He's got to be real close to 5 3/4"- to 6" now. I had a pair of them that I got at the same time when they were the size of the ones I just got today to put with my 10"-11" dels in the 120g. The one Sen outgrew this one and he's been in the 120g for about 6 weeks now. I actually put them both in the 120g at the same time and about 10 mins after doing so this guy in the above pic was halfway down the throat of my white colored 11" del lol. Luckily I caught him in time and managed to pull him out and save him. So I'm waiting till this one puts on about another 1" to put him in again. Thankfully he's starting to put on some more mass now the past couple weeks in a short time than he has been.
 
Do you have any suggestions on feeding a bichir that doesn't get much food? My other bottom dwellers eat mode of the food before my albino senegal bichir can get to it.
