Its good to have friends in the hobby. I went to my friend Jon Chus pad today to trade some fish for these laps.

I am really excited to see them settle in!

13" and 14" and a spotted friend tagged along.

More pics coming up....

After getting them in the tank, I noticed a few characteristics that makes me believe these two laps may have been two I sold a year ago when I shut down my 150g bichir tank.

If that's the case, they will be stunners once they settle in, and will make it 3 bichirs I have back from that collection: My Bichir collection from March 2012

Wow the pbb and kolo are gorgeous. Your new laps look sort of like platinum with the light contrast. I am glad they went to you. I was tempted to pick these up too.

Thanks bro, theyre settling in nicely. Im enjoying the fake platinum look and my girl really likes that color too. I just hope i can grow them out to be 20"+ beasts like the lap you got back. Is it colored up yet?

You have some cool fish man!

Thank you! This is my Jurassic Park tank lol gars and bichirs, soon adding an African Aro.

Looking good

mayb some day we can own a platinum endli :-) I hope you get these to grow. I rarely see giant laps. My lap didn't color up. :-( I think I have to do the tile bottom.

Maybe someday lol

You need to hurry up about that tile bottom. I don't know if that lap will return to it's potential without it. Same with the pbb
