Burbot's Bichirs

Wow that is massive how long did it take for him to get that big?

I got this weeksii from Canadian aquatics back in 2009 fish was 9 inches when I received it, had hit 20 inches within about 14 months. Fastest growing Bichir I have raised

Master, how do I grow a weeksii that big? That's the biggest I have seen. Nice collection. I love see pics from your setup.

Master, ha I have never been called that. Collection is average and pic quality poor but I do love raising these fish. I just picked up a little 8" weeksii, I will see how it grows out

very nice collection lmao about your gar courting the hybrid. Thanks for sharing. How old is the weeksii?

Got weeksii June 2009, prob 9 months old at time so I am guessing around 5 years old

Looking for some decent pics of my ornate, lapX2, delhezi X2 and sen The laps are very good at avoiding the camera

Thanks Hao, it has been awhile. Back at you, that inspiration road runs both ways.

14 " ornate - far cry from my big 23" guy that past last year. But he is still growing so never can tell

Nice ornate! I feel you there, my 18" Ornate passed awhile back too. Growing out a WC ornate, growing fairly slow!

My delhezis, one wc and one cb. Wc is my oldest poly, he started my collection back in the start of 2001-- the fish is the same age as my daughter The second one is around 4 years old or so

My hardest fish to get pictures of are my laps. The first one (drab green) I refer to as the sibling of my big weeksii as I got him on the the same order I placed with Canadian aquatics. The second one was a rare find at the lfs

The drab green one is long and slender at around 19" the second is shorter but thicker around 17-18"
