My new catch, WC Polypterus ansorgii pair

[giseok jung]

Here is my new catch.

WC Polypterus ansorgii from Corubal (Koliba) river, Guinea.
65cm female and 55cm male.

As all expect, they are my new project.

I saw there was Kamihata breed (F1 from wild pair) ansorgii that grow up to 70cm in Japan more than 10 years ago and i just thought that's what i have to do.

CB ansorgii in now days are too inbred with small parents and hormone treatment so they can't grow up big like WC fish does and i want to see some really nice CB ansorgii myself sooner or later.

Yes it is

Damn what was the price?

It was quite cheaper than usual because the female don't have one dorsal fin.
If they were normal, it would be 1500usd or sort for pair in here.
