Hello,
After lurking for a few months on here its finally time to introduce my self and ask a question
My name is Lou, I live in miami and I have two tanks. One is a ten gallon with a dwarf puffer (a couple ghost shrimp and two guppies to fill up space), and a 29 gallon with a Senegal Bichir and a Tire Track Eel.
Yes I know I need a bigger tank, I googled after I bought the fish. Im currently looking for a nice big used tank or maybe making one.
Now here is my question:
When I got my bichir he was a little under 3" (now 7") at a Walmart where no one knew what he was. (Got him for $2
) Ever since then Ive wanted to get another one of a different type, but could never find one. Until now...
As with the first I have no idea what he is and I'm hoping you guys can help.
He looks EXACTLY like a senegal bichir of the same size (2.5" to 3") except for:
1. slightly more defined "round head"
2. Much bigger eyes (as big or bigger than the 7 inch bichir)
3. No little antenas on his nose like any other bichir.
Is it possible he is a senegal bichir and just born lookin' funny?
Here are pics.
