I went to the shedd aquarium and saw one of these guys about 2 feet(hard to tell). Can they really get that big, or did the shedd use a different species? Ill post a pick soon.

what?!?!!? Shedd has bichirs now?!? That's so great. I don't believe they did when I was interning there. Then again, I also didn't know about polys back then, but feel like I would have remembered them. What habitat and area were they in?


I remember they had Arapiamas(sp?) lampreys, Asian carp, various freshwater rays, etc. IThey might have had an African fish hall, but can't remember that one clearly( lots of turtles). However, my favorite of all was Grandad (Australian lung) whom I loved dearly. Really am so pleased with them adding polypterus!!!!!
 
I'm no bichir expert by any means but the del is one of my two favorites and I'd have to agree that that does not look like one.
