Totally. They generally grow a Half inch to an inch per month and supposedly slow down around 8 - 10 inches. I don't see why you couldn't get all three now if you get small ones.
Ideas on stocking a 125 with my first Bichir
- Thread starter sevs and sajicas for me
- Start date
Because teugs are expensive 
If I drop 100 bucks on fish my wife would kill me on the spot. But if I drop 30-40 on a del and senegal then she wouldn't mind so much

Yeah I order through trinsfish all the time because I've had a lot of really good success with their fish/plants I've ordered in the past plus their shipping is really reasonable. Their sens are usually $10 and dels are usually $15 when they have them in. The one time they had teugs they were 60...so even if I could find it for 40, I'm still dropping close to 90 bucks after shipping and that's just a little more than I want to put my wife through. In her defense if she went out and bought 90 bucks in books or yoga stuff I'd say something to the effect of, "What in the world could have costed 90 bucks for yoga"
This price guide below is a good reference +/- $5 to $10 for upper jaws polys. You'll often find senegals and others listed on Craigslist looking for rehome at a better deal. U have a 75 gallon right? If so, u can start on your poly quest now, lol.

Thanks for the guide. That helps quite a bit.
Unfortunately my 75 is a cooler water tank (not really cool but I keep it around 74ish) and it has dojos and kuhlis in it. I don't want my loaches becoming a bichir snack

Yes it is. Made it easier. Less typing
. Just added the 3 species on the bottom since they're not listed. These are prices that are consistent with what I've seen +/-.
