I read that you scaled back your collection? Do you regret it at all?

I want an albino LF soo bad! Hopefully you update on those platinums soon :D

It felt weird but I didn't post in the polypterus forum for a couple months... I missed a lot.

Welcome back bro! I knew you would come back.:popcorn::D What tank are they in? Why did you quit in the first place when you know you couldn't walk away?:grinno: Let me know when you're bored with them again.:ROFL:

I think I went crazy for a while :screwy:

I had just put in all those rocks and stuff in my tank and I really really loved the way it looked, but my polys looked cramped. I was used to seeing them in the 180g with all the floor space to them, so I felt bad.

I should've just taken out some of the rocks, but I really liked how it looked. I moved t hings around, and it's got more space now. Lesson learned :D

Trust me bro, that mistake will never happen again. :D

What is a long fin that fish is beautiful! Is that a special senegal breed ? I have a well matured poly senegal bichir but his tail isnt that sweet. Im sure he's a male too with the nice wide rear fin

Thanks bro, it's a genetic variant, most likely produced in asia. I saw the pic of your fish, and I agree it is male.

How big is that tank also ? Looks like you got some awesome hardware.

Tank is only a 120g (4'x2'x2'), nothing special running on it, just two XP3's, one with a surface extractor attached to the intake.

I used to run two AC110's on the tank too, but it caused too many bubbles. I may add them again though, since lately I keep the water level much higher than I used to.

Here's a full tank shot:

Thanks man :grinno:

I almost forgot, at the time I was also getting into reptiles, and I sold my prize 'keepers' because I went to NARBC....

Maybe I should buy that spider ball female I want before I start my poly collection :ROFL:
