You said it right Serg.
This is the only place to get your bichirs. Toyins WC stock is hands down the best.

I have been nothing but 100% happy and amazed by the quality I've gotten from every order so far.
With all the noobs to the polypterus scene lately, many of them seeming to be potential hardcore addicts (tcarswell, lolhebe, etc... lol), it's important they know whuts up.
I cannot say I have seen one in person. They must be pretty rare over here.King-eL;2746747; said:
Yes, Toyin has all the hard to find polys. He's definitely a good resource to polys hobbyists.
I know this is a bit of a distraction from the thread, but the name of that little beasty's actually quite amusing.
Mokelembembe means 'one who stops the river' in the Lingala language and is apparently a large, aquatic monster from the folklore of the Congo River region.
It pretty much amounts to naming a Scottish minnow 'Loch ness monster'.
I'd recognised the name for a National Geographic article from over a decade ago and decided to look it up on Wikipedia.
Pretty funny name for such a small fish, huh?
