I was coming into this post thinking you meant you had a burbot and thought it was a poly hahaha...beautiful fish man, I can't wait to set up my 310 for my polys and eels.
P.S. I have a delhezi at 12" too, and no one ever believes they get that big! haha. Mines like 12 and some change last I measured him.

The weeksii was actually the fastest at around the two year mark. The cong, endi and lap were 3 years and 5 years respectively
Still the most impressive bichir I have ever owned was my 23" ornate (RIP) that I grew out from 3"

Why thank you! The congicus finally passed the weeksi in size.

I catch burbot a lot through the ice up here, caught a little 12" one last winter. Tempted to try a set up for him but reason prevailed.
P.S. I have a delhezi at 12" too, and no one ever believes they get that big! haha. Mines like 12 and some change last I measured him.

be sure to share some pics. That del is what started my bichir keeping back in 2001

Everything looks great still!

Thanks Hao

Amazing coloring. Mine are so dull looking with normal sand. Not dull, just...not colorful

Good to see some picks Burbot, one of my favorite poly tanks.
The weeksi is a monster.
