Polypterus delhezi and it's still a juvenile. The color will change as it grows.

It's from the flash of the Camera. There ayes are black, unless it's an albino, but the one on the pics is just a regular juvenile delhezi.

Thanks i appeciate it. Do you think Delhezi's would be a siutable tankmate for a motoro stingray?

Just make sure the delhezi is not small enough to be eaten by the motoro ot the motoro is not under 5" as the bichirs might death roll the disk during feeding time.

I used to keep a 10" delhezi with a 12" retic and 14" motoro no prblem.
