Xrayz, you have great bichir collections.

Here goes my weeksii:
I love it, because it's the most active bichir in the tank.

My weeksii did yawn frequently few years ago, but, it less does yawning as it growing large (similar as my other bichirs).

Anyway, here goes the popular ornate which has unique and beautiful patterns, one never mess up it with other bichir species.

I think it's a she:

It's one of the active species among my bichirs:

IMHO, this pose shows the best pattern of it:

The pattern on its body is nice as well:

Here comes my major force the endlicheris part one (sequenced according to the acquired date):

The oldest (male):

I think this is its fully developed pattern:

The 2nd with long thin body (male):
IMG_9264-01.jpg


The color is still under developing:

The 3rd, the flattest and also the darkest (female):
IMG_7535-1.JPG


The flat/thin head:
IMG_7425.JPG


The 4th with very dark stripes (female):
IMG_2309.jpg


She has a super extruded lower jaw:
IMG_9331-1.JPG


The 5th same batch as the 4th (female):
IMG_9213-01.jpg


Not bad looking of the pose:

Continue the major force, the endlicheris part two:
The 6th and the fattest (female):
DSC02608.JPG


The 7th which has high back (female):
IMG_7356.JPG


Can tell the high back from this pose:
IMG_7379.JPG


The 8th, a wild caught with long thin body shape (unlike #4~#7), it's potentially be the longest endlicheri of mine, (female):
IMG_9235-01.jpg


The 9th (female):
IMG_9596-01.jpg


The nice markings on its head & gill plate drove me to buy it:
IMG_9641-01.jpg


The 10th (female):
IMG_3291-1.JPG


She has nice patterns underside:
IMG_4069-1.jpg


The 11th imported from Japan (female):
IMG_4860.jpg


She has more patterns underside than the former one:
IMG_3237-1.JPG


She has weird small pupils and make her looks feircing from certain poses:
