Anybody got polypterus palmas?
- Thread starter allaboutfish1996
- Start date
basically, palmas have the same body shape as sens but the colour is a bit brownish gold colour with some green. They have a checkered pattern.
They are fairly active bichirs and have very simalar personalities like the sens. they are considered to have the outstanding personalities of bichirs IMO. Go to google images....
I like palmas buettikoferi personally. Mine is a wild caught juvenile so it hasn't shown it's colors yet and it's still a little scared but he gets more open each day. He likes to act as if my ornate is his dad because where ever the ornate is he is always right there snuggled right by him lol.
it depends on the species.
I have all 3 species of P. Palmas and their personalities really depend on the individual fish. and ALL 3 of them are Wild Caught.
- Palmas Palmas - this one is almost 12" is active half the time but is very laid back
- Palmas Buettikoferi - i used to have 2. one of them was 4-5 and was VERY aggressive (i sold it already). My other one is reaching 12" and is very active and friendly with my bichirs.
- Palmas Polli - the one i have is 6" and is very active and LOVES to eat.
here are some pics
Palmas Palmas (these are old pics and hes gotten darker black, brighter yellow and more contrast
Palmas Buettikoferi (again old pics but now has alot of gold and again, alot of contrast from the red and black sand)
Palmas Polli (hes darker green and black now. you can tell from the change when he 1st went in the tank to now)
hope you like it and hope it helps you out man! if you need more pics and would like me to take updated pics, feel free to ask
