new purchase

[bathawk]

After suddenly loosing my delhezi last week went on the hunt yesterday but could'nt find one the shop I go to did have some palmas though so picked the one with strongest colour's dose look a bit skinny. I dropped in some carnivore pellets and he fed straight away my senegal was following him around the tank but did'nt see any aggression the store did have a beautiful ornate of about 6 inches but they grow a bit too big for my tank so settled with the palmas

As kno4te mentioned - it's a Polli, not Palmas Palmas. I love mine - it's my most active poly!

Just looks and general activity - Pollis are more active overall as a rule. I love mine's personality because of that. (They're mislabeled a lot.)

There is a chart here in the forum stickies about the types of bichirs.

I think you'll be happy! Polys as a whole aren't super active so it's fun to have ones that are like these guys and Sens.
