PBB and teulgeis!!! come on! think rare!

true. the Ornate and Endli are too common, but they're still awesome. I have never seen a Teugelsi outside of pictures and I've only seen a PBB once in person. Still to this day, I have never seen a PBK in person nor have I seen a "legitimate" picture of one. Not sure if they're even still availalbe in aquaria?
 
I've been looking for a del for a long time but every time i go into the lfs they have and endlicheri labeled delhehi I have considered order from Rehoboth aquatics but i'm in texas and i have to go to an LFS (and LFS that actually will do this for me) and ask them to order me one. But I have had problems with my tank lately so i have been constantly pushing the date when i will do this back further and further. But The only one i don't have that i voted for is the delhezi.

the store I currently work at used to have Endli's labeled as Delhezi, but knowing as much as I do about Polys I was able to sort out the mislabeled fish. They also had Lapradei labeled as Palmas. You should be able to find a Del though. They're not hard to find, but a lot of stores don't know what they're ordering when they get new stuff so it leads to mislabeled fish. It really helps if you go to a store that actually knows what they have

It's synonymous to Polypterus endlicheri congicus.

so it's not a "true" species? Is it just a variation of the Congicus that has just been recognized as Bichir Katangae?
