I'm guessing Palmas Polli from the pics
I already have those too. Toyin said these were palmas palmas. How come it does not look like anything in the palmas palmas in the third picture?

Either way, looks great.

I already got those on the last shipment.:D
haha in my defense, palmas palmas and palmas buettikoferi are almost impossible to tell apart without seeing the patterns :D

anyway thats a nice palmas palmas there. like B.K. said, substrate affects how they look. Also, variations among individuals plays a big role (similar thing with buettikoferi as well). e.g. below are some of mine for reference (pics show actual color). and lastly, you just got your fish, so it hasn't quite settled, although ime its only a minor factor compared to those mentioned above. regardless, its the prettiest bichir in my book :) hope you enjoy yours too

Joe have you ever thought of changing from gravel to flourite black sand? It would make your palmas get dark like in the third pic.

After thirty minute in the tank mine got dark already! So did the little beutti, but it's in a smaller tank with eco complete.
 
nice grab, fishgonewild. they look great.

cohazard, post some pics of your newbies.
 
They look nice, I'm starting to like polys a lot more again! That's a nice Scobiancistrus too...
