Do senegalus runts exist?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My Albino Sen hasn't grown in 2 years. I was expecting it to grow to 8" but seemed to stop at 6"

I also have 2 Polli that are under 9" that I've had for over 2 years now. I've seen members who got them in the double digits in that amount of time, but mine has either stopped growing or they have REALLY slowed down.

Bad genetics due to being captive bred/inbred.

This is where short bodied fish stem from, but it's seen allot in the Bichir world. Especially with the more common ones, like Senegals.
