Meet the Bichir Gang

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ok, don't get me wrong Hao. I respect your knowledge of Bichirs and I respect your reputation on MFK. But what I do not accept is that you are ridiculing MY thread about MY fish on my own post. I've seen enough of your own "measure my Bichir with your own forearm posts'' on mfk. I measured the fish when I got it, and no, I have no ''evidence'' of that. And I will certainly not net the fish because you want ''proof'' of what I am suggesting on my threads. When you look at the pictures, and I'm stating that my Ornate is around 50 cm, I think you can take a guess about how big my Lap / PBB is. I wanted to ask you in a PB about my Poly, because I respect your knowledge and opinion, but now not so much. Thank you for the input about you thinkin it is a Lap. Kind regards.
You need to relax. I was just asking if you had a photo with a tape. Nobody was asking you to net the fish out. It’s fine if you didn’t have a photo of the bichir against the front with a tape measure. It was literally a simple question. I wasn’t going to argue about the size. Was just curious since MANY people claim certain sizes but most of the time the bichirs aren’t actually that big. AGAIN no big deal if you don’t have “proof”. Just my opinion anyway no need to get all offended.
As for the photos, it’s definitely the same fish. Just compare the pattern.

I am not going to argue with you about this, nor will I relax or so you suggest. You are suggesting something wich isn't true, asking for proof with a tape measure and comparing different Bichirs against each other. Please don't tell me what to do and do not put words in my mouth. thank you. You can stop commenting on my threads, I'm sorry. I wish you the best.

Very nice fish, I very much agree with Hao that it is the same fish. That is actually very cool to see a fish with so much history

As for the size piece, It is only topical when very large sizes are put out there. To the OP it comes with the territory and not a sign of disrespect. Fish that size are very rare and having one is special, you know as well as any of us, that many fish sizes are rounded up on forums and FB. I have several large ones that have been questioned over the years and I understand why as one in particular is abnormally large for its species. Like you I am not willing to stress it and net it out of the tank but happy to show pics that illustrate its size. Hell I have about 2000 pics of my fish. Ultimately it’s your fish and a great fish, enjoy it but understand.
