I picked up 5 bichirs a couple days ago and it was one of the best days I've ever had in the hobby. First, I picked up a 5" weeksi from Charlie (fishtankfactory). Then I went to Tom's Tropical in Long Beach and bought a 8" lapradei and a 4" senegal. I met up with Cohazard there and he was nice enough to sell me a male delhezi that I had sold to him last year. Plus, he sold me a female delhezi that was just as nice. It was an awesome day to be a fishkeeper. :)


First up is my lap. He was eating earthworms within 30 minutes of being put into my tank.

Next up is a FAT delhezi. I love how green he is. He still hasn't eaten yet, but I think he's just settling in for now. He looks really healthy and awesome. Thanks Serg.

Here's my female delhezi.

Here's the weeksi I bought. He's probably my least favorite right now because he just hides all the time. At least he eats the earthworms I put near his cave though.

This is the little senegal i bought.

And finally here's my Shortbody Albino Sen. I'm pretty sure he's a SB anyway, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I've had him for a few weeks now and he's by far the most active and seems to be the smartest of all my bichirs.

I'm planning to upgrade my tank some day soon and buy even more bichirs. These guys are great and it really is an addiction getting these fish. :headbang2
 
Wow that is a good day! Sweet fish and pics.
 
ZOMG! That picture of the senegal is just crying to be hugged
 
Very nice bichirs, especially your lapradei! Kinda surprised that it took food so soon and has its colour contrast back in such a short period of time.
 
I wish i still had my del... :( nice bichirs
 
It was good meeting up with you again John!

Your lap looks awesome already, I can see the nice dark green stripes on the head, it's going to look very nice, I hope mine develops like yours.

I'll post some pics this weekend.
