This is my chunky little monster "ghost" doing his favorite thing- eating and sniffing out more food. Easily the greediest fish I've ever had. Will out eat every other fish I have in the tank and still act hungry
 
Albino sens are one of my favorite types of bichir

any idea how to tell if a poly has the shortbody gene? i think my albino might have a little bit of sb going on but it could just be young and fat. seems to have good proportions but is wayyy thicker bodied than my ornate of the same size and my endli thats only 1" shorter
 
Here are my old albino sens:
Shortbody #1 @ 6"-7"

Shortbody #2 @ 4"-5"

Shortbody #3 forgot size, but looks small.

Regular albino @ 8"-9" probably.

Lol they do look like piggies. But they are cute! Ghost just is making sure he's boss.

Hao Hao , your collection never ceases to impress! How did you like keeping the short bodied in comparison to the regular albinos? Any downsides or differences?
