Male wild caught Senegal update

[Joshuakahan]

I’ve had this guy about a month now, it’s close to 11.5-12” and starting to fatten up. Eats a ton, on par with my 8” Oscar

He's looking good ?

Agree the Senegal looks good. Very active.

Thank you, do you know how big average WC sens get? Everything I’ve read has them from 6”-18” but I imagine 6” is CB and 18” is WC Turkana. This guy is WC but not Turkana. He is 11.5” but is still growing.

Tbh I just know about the Turkana specie growing 12" or larger.

Oh ok, this guy is Nigerian

I have heard of 14" Nigerian sens coming in, no doubt they could potentially hit 16"! I love the olive colour of Nigerian sens, my boy was a stunner while I had him.

Thanks for the info. Got any pics of your sen?

Here are some of the last photos I have of the sucker before he jumped ship, along with my CB female. He was about 6-7". Thoroughly enjoyed having him

He looks awesome, too bad he jumped, after having a WC sen, I don’t think I’ll get a captive again
