Stopped in at a LFS, to check out rainbows or angels to fill out the rest of my tank. My experience in Ohio fish stores has been that no one has polypterus other than your basic senegals and a few very small Delhezi. I seen a tank down at the end of the row that was labeled "Bichir Palmus". Turns out to be a Lapradei :headbang2 about 4-6" estimate. Has two different eyes his one eye looks just like a rattlesnake eye with the small slit type and the other is normal, like the picture.

He's really bland looking now but I can see very faint patterns on him. I'm hoping that the clay and black sand substrate will bring out his colors more later. He was in a tank with alittle play sand in it.
