Anybody got polypterus palmas?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
But sens are one of the most active polys there is. My baby doesn't know what the phrase Stay Still means. The only time he slows down is when he has his head in the sand looking for some food lol
 
Each of the palmas' p. poli, p. palmas palmas, and p. Buettikoferi will have a pattern through out there body
 
They have every species of polypterus and he is the guy you can trust go look through the forums he has them all except for albinos platinum and senegalus' the reason he doesn't have those is because they are all wild caught so when you order a delhezi it could come in green because it is from the wild. I am trying to wait and order the rare polypterus tuegelsi from him becuase he is the only distributor of them in the USA (that i know or have heard of) and he sells them for 120 dollars for a 4-6" etc... he has the best prices for WC bichirs!!!
 
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
