Back from collecting my new beast.
50cm Wild PO. Bichir Bichir Turkana!
Fish is male, and has a bit of a bad attitude. The original owners moved it into a viewing tank for me to look at the other day, and when I collected it today they told me it beat the crap out of everything in the tank last night!
I'm hoping this was a freak moment of aggression, as whatever tank I put it in has valuable fish in.
One of it's finlets is torn on the softer membrane part, I hope that will heal (I guess it will) I was going to use this to get the price down, but turns out I din't need to say anything, it had already been reduced for me by ¥100,000!
Still cost a bomb, but it always goes down well with the wife when a "discount" is involved...
Anyway heres some pics: (It has dropped all markings and color is paler since being bagged and transported)
