congicus for $35? are you sure it's labeled right? i would get that instead if it was really congicus.

well i been staring at alot of pics here of congicus i'm gonna go back at the end of this week and take another look and make my final decision. unless someone here has a cure for my new bichir addiction
 
I voted ornate. Not sure why I did, maybe because I have one and think they're cool.

i have room for the ornate. that's the one i was leaning toward getting the lfs has it for $80 and the congicus is only $35. i'll probably get the ornate and in about another year i'll upgrade and get the congicus. i made the mistake of breaking down and buying a senegal and now i think i'm HOOKED :hypnotize :duh:

wtf?!?!?! mistake? you should be slapping yoursel, you should do a :headbang2 and be happy:D :naughty: :) :headbang2 .

anyway, i actually dont like the colors of ornates but i would go with them since you have enough room.
 
Go with what you have room for now.When you get a bigger tank then get the congicus but get the tank first-Anne

I agree,,, but I tell you,,, you are optimistic, thinking they will both be there at the end of the week. You are talking about a store right? You'd better make up your mind quick or you won't likely have a choice at all.
 
Our 12" ornates have been in the store for more than 2 months. The small Gold Dust Polys were one in a day. Tough to say how fast fish will move. We got in two 12" Oscars, I thought they would die in our tanks, they were sold within a week. If you want a fish, get it asap.
 
Congicus! if i had the tank i'd buy him in a heart beat! but all i have now are 8 senegals in a 35g tank so i'll wait for the time when i can make a 200g tank so i can buy all the species of bichirs that i want!
 
i would get some pics and post them to make sure that it is in fact a congicus. $35 is a steal if it is a real congicus. i have a feeling it is mislabled and actually a lapradei, happens all the time.

good luck... i like ALL polypterus, so i can not vote.
