I.D Petcetra bichir?

[FisherCat]

Help! I bought a lil bichir form Petcetra that they had labeled as a Weather Loach. I"m pretty such its not a Senegal as it looks diff from mine & they definatly had some baby Sens as well, labeled as Horse Faced Loaches.

Just about 2-3 inches, very very lil. But I got him for $3.40!

He's got lines down his side made of spots, reddish fins, white lines on his face to his nostrils & on his chin, white belly, big head.

Senegal. The lines will fade with age

I agree. polypterus palmus i think. Cool little dude.
I had one break off the cover and my intake and swim into the impellar, and live.
Very tough.

It's definitely a sen.

 

[FisherCat]

so two votes for Sen & one for palmas?

But, I don't think its a Sen as there were some Sens in another tank of the same size, but diff markings from my guy
