Got my First Bichir!

[Cichla dude]

Today I picked up a new fish: Ornate Bichir. This is my first bichir and I love him. I orignally wanted a an albino senegal bichir but I love the Ornate's color pattern better. The Ornate is my second favorite fish.
I just thought I'd share it with you guys...
As for once I'd get to join the Bichir group!

Ornates are the bee's knees.

Good choice on the Ornate over the Albino Sen. Ornates will get much larger and are just as active.

Thanks.. The 10'' bichirs that the lps had in with this 4''er were beating on this little guy so I have some healing to do. The 10'' ones were Palmas Palmas. I would love a small palmas palmas as my next bichir purchase.
