And because YouTube embeding seems iffy...

Bowfin

He/she is a least 12" and in my care approximately 6 months now? Steady diet of earthworms and feeder GF. 2 tankmates: Bluespot gourami (~4") and a marbled knife (~10").

I'll get a better video tonight... I used the flash once and every time since when I bring out the phone *poof* hidden fish!

I also took this video during the day as you can see with the reflection in the glass (neighbors car...)- with a dark tank it's hard to get anything to show up, especially with dark fish!


Thanks! He's looking pretty impressive I must say!

Used to have one.. Regret selling it but couldn't afford a 300 gallon tank at the time. These things are wicked cool!
