changing up my tank

[rob1984]

so after my oscars went nutty on my aro, i decided to sell the oscars and go with peacock bass and arowana and a bichir tank.... now ive been looking at different bichirs on youtube and found one on youtube i think i like the looks of... and apprently it suppose to be a ornate bichir but when i called the LFS they said they had a ornate BUT he is a marbled colour... but here is a video of the one i think i would want in my tank can anyone help with identifying this species ? one at the store from what he was saying is like a tan/beige colour with black or dark coloured spots all over him

thats an ornate for sure in the video like it says. sometime they are more vividly colored when young.

at that size its probably an ornate or a lower jawed species but none of those are really marbled

Wow. Where abouts in Ontario are you that you're that far away from a store? They should be able to e-mail you a pic.
