Just a few words on my polys...
Got myself a decent collection so far, at least considering the unavailability of polys here in iceland.
But i just picked up:
2 palmas polli, around 10" and fat
1 ornatepinnis, 3" tiny
2 ropefish, around 12"
before i had:
3 senegalus, one is ~8" and the other two are ~6"
I am taking a chance with the tiny ornatepinnis but i wanted it so bad i have to try. My other fish are pretty calm so my hopes are high that he doesnt get eaten. It has its own hiding place in the floating plants.
I know there is a big size diffrence between the species but i just took what came available. Normally there are just Senegals available here but one store just ordered 4 palmas and 4 ornate. As you can see by that, the market here isnt that big.
I took two Palmas P. as one had been sold and one had jumped out and died in the store.
I only took one Ornatepinnis cause it was for ~150$ and i dont want to lose more that ones worth if they would get eaten.
The next one on my list is a Delhezi and then i think i have all the poly species i can order.
Some pics:
One of the Palmas Polli and a Ropefish:
The tiny Ornatepinnis:
The biggest Senegal:
And the two smaller Senegals:
They will all move to a 200G tank next week.. My 50G is on overload!
