It’s been long over-due, but I left for college almost right after getting them settled into the tank. I just got back in town so I snapped a couple pics of the turkana. Lights were turned on a few minutes before the pics so it’s a little light in these pics, I’ll try and get some of it when its...

I can’t really tell from the pictures but it almost looks like an injury. Does it affect the way he eats or just general movements involving him opening and closing his mouth?

I may be interpreting the picture wrong but it seems as though his anal fin is the area of concern. If that’s the case then it appears that his anal fin is just becoming bulkier as males do once they age. As for the freak outs, that’s typical when you move a fish to another tank. It’s a...

The one in the first and second pictures

For the more endlicheri looking one I would call it a faranah endlicheri and the other one I’ve been calling a dabola

Also, here’s some pics of 2 fish that both came in with a faranah lap shipment

Here some update pics. Turkana is looking really good. The chad popped over and was beside her for s little bit so I was able to grab a side by side pic

These are with the lights just turned on, but the turkana is in the first 2 pics and the chad in the last one

The turkana body is for sure larger. From stomach to top it’s taller at around the same size. My Chad PBB is around the same size and is almost half the height/girth. I’ll try and grab some comparison pics tomorrow

Most definitely. The chadd PBB’s patterns flow a little bit better and seem to fit it’s body type. While the Turkana’s patterns seem stretched on its larger frame. I’ll try and grab some pics between the two as she settles in more

Turkana is about 22”-23” ansorgii is about 2’

Thanks everyone! The Turkana is very bulky and is already looking awesome, can’t wait to see what she looks like in a few weeks

PBB and Ansorgii are correct! The Ansorgii and Lake Turkana PBB are settling into the tank right now here’s some pics

Couple of BIG new additions to the tank. Thanks to Toyin for these amazing new fish! They’re currently acclimating in a tub and I’ll post some pics once they’re in the tank

30/40 is definitely the way to go, that’s what I’ve used in my tanks for years

I had the exact same problems a few years ago. At first the hydra came, then the little mites. The reason it happened to me is because I would sometimes over feed and leave excess food in the tank (thinking to filters would clean it up). I got rid of them but cutting back on feeding, cleaning...

CB teugelsi haven’t really been in the hobby as long as some of the other CB bichirs. I’m sure we’ll start to see a few monsters start to pop up relatively soon as the first few large batches in the U.S. start to grow out a little more. I’m not sure how early they were introduced into the hobby...

I love the size and distinct patterns on those ansorgiis! And those Congicus look amazing too!! Great gets

As everyone has said, with that much space there shouldn’t be any problems with space. I’d probably try and find a larger knife so you could get the polys smaller and as they start to pass it up in size it’ll be big enough to not worry about. However it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. With all...

I was thinking the same thing at first. I had a quick rush of poly buying fever lol
