Wich is more active,
Better looking,
And more aggressive

Also does anyone know what a
Englo bichir is??

1: depends on the fish, my ornates are more active.

2: personal preference, I like lower jawed species better.

3: ornates are the most aggressive poly I have owned, but again it depends on the fish.

I have never heard of that type of poly.

1. Depends on the fish but I would say mostly ornates
2. You decide, myself I prefer a WC endli before any ornate but CB endlis can be damn ugly sometimes and then I would take the ornate
3. I would go for endli being more aggressive, but all bichirs seems to get an attitude at 16"+.

My endli is fairly active but I don't think that's the norm, i'v been told ornates are quite active.

I personally like the endli better because they have a more aggressive prehistoric look IMO, but I have heard many people say the ornate is the best looking bichir, I don't really get why you have to ask what's best looking? Surly you have your own opinion?...

Not sure what 1 is more aggressive, I think as stated in the other post that its dependent on the individual fish, they are all very predatory though so obviously need to be kept with larger fish.

Size always matters...


But seriously hahaha as long as one isn't large enough to eat the other your good. Each one is different. I rarely ever see my ornate. It's so lazy. Where as all my others are active

My 15" endli just ate my 9" ornate today. Size matters.
