One of life's greatest irony. 2 of my largest and BA bichirs (Ornate & Delhezi) absolutely refuses to munch down on the poor and helpless feeder frog while 2 of my smallest and cute bichirs (Palma polli & Lapradei) chomp down on them with no mercy!
Got this cute little bugger for $15. A little pricey but so worth it. I love its external gills. Currently its has the highest external gills to body length ratio. Its only about 4". Fins are a little damaged, he was in a tank of healthy endlis and I decided to get the underdog instead and nurse him back to health.
I'm hoping the lapradei's patterns darken. Though my endli now turns creamy to blend into the substrate. I often almost have a heart attack thinking he somehow slip into the overflow and down the filter sock when I searched the entire tank and couldn't find him. Turns out he is just right infront of me
considered creamy to me. Since I was originally planning on getting one at Aquahobby. However some jerk came and brought the whole tank of endli just before I came. When the boss showed me a reserved one I was like *@(!@&($&@! Him, make me waste a trip from Boon lay to Potong Pasir.
Lesson learn : Always reserved from boss first before making the trip
