just popped in to see what an LF was . Oh and isn't that a bichir in the picture??

 

[ATribeCalledDoug]

I was told it was a lungfish?

 

[dbcb314]

LOL

you work at a aquarium?

anyway its a albino senagalus bichir... not even close to a lung fish

it only gets to a foot max and thats considered a big senagalus.

 

[ATribeCalledDoug]

I work in the cafe.

Great.

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

Thats an albino bichir not a lung LOL.

 

[E_americanus]

yes, albino Polypterus senegalus...they basically won't bother anything they can't swallow. similar to a lungfish in that they are primitive air-breathing fishes, but that's about it.--

hehe yep, albino Polypterus senegalus. How much did you pay for him and where can I find one of those in NY? I'd be a little concerned about the reddening near the caudal fin.

 

[ATribeCalledDoug]

Well thanks for the help.

Dru, they didn't have any more albino's at the store. I believe they had a couple other though.

I got it at Magic Isle in Centereach on Long Island
