ID my Bichir please

[robroy]

I spent this morning visitng a couple of LFS near me and saw this for sale. It was in a tank with some P. delhezi but as soon as I saw it I realised it wasn't. I did think at first it was an endlicheri so I snapped it up. I last kept a bichir 2 yearsago-my WC Nigerian endli jumped and I've never been able to look at one since until today.

Its skinny-I'll sought that out no worries-but eaten some frozen tialapia already. It seems to have more dorsal finlets than an endli but I might be wrong. Anyway I got it for the same price as the Dels so I'm pleased.

I still think an endli myself and am happy with that.

I apologise for the poor photos-my camera is lousy I'm afraid

Thanks Rob

No offence but that it definitely isn't-it's a lower jaw for starters

I wondered this but have never seen one before myself

Yes, it's an ansorgii for sure.
