New polys........tell me what you think.

[Yakuza-Irezumi]

My first venture into the Polypterus Family.I can see why these creatures are quite addicting. I can see this going for a while with me getting different species.Had them 48 hours and im in love with them.
P.S. Look at the colors on my Convict

nice..but i'm worried the convict might pluck an eye out..

i wouldn't trust a poly with a con at all...

 

[BrtnBoy449]

me neither, i had mine with my convict and the convict wouldn't leave her alone!

So are Africans out of the question w/ poly's? I have always wanted to get a few but my tanks all have cichlids already in there, maybe an excuse for another tank?

i suggest a seperate tank if the poly's are too small they might get bullied by agressive cichlids and if the poly's are bigger than the cichlids, the cichlids will most likely be eaten..

Are the albino variants any rare-er than the regular ones?

That is an awfully nice convict you have there, BUT I'd have to agree with the no convict comments. Mine were extremely aggressive and took a run at the poor senegals non-stop. Eventually the dominant male con chased a 9" senegal into hiding inside a fake decoration where she had to be hack sawed out!

Nice albinos. Good find. They're so tiny and look so delicious to the convict.

not really..if you want rare ones you can look up in the polypterus section...
