Not a Mokelembembe!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I’ve bought a bichir as X which ended up being Y more times than once and at this point I don’t trust sellers online except for senegal bichirs, delhezi bichirs, and rope fish. The rest I’m going to buy from people on here or perhaps aqua imports since they’ve never done me wrong.

Yep sounds like what I need to do as well can as well and the bad thing to is they sent her to me infested with worms all over it looked like hairs.

Omg thank you for letting me know I guess I need to change his or her name. Dhe still has long external gills I was wondering why if she was over half grown....

Any plans on contacting live aquaria about this? I’d say there’s a good chance of them doing something about it but with the changes that have happened to them lately I’m not too sure.

Can any one tell me the sex? Also I took the rocks out right after I got home and got these pictures.

I am absolutely going to contact them. all they did for her being sick was extend her warranty for a week. Got all my other dino babys sick too. They said they were gonna refund me then they back tracked and said they thought she died. I got a delhezi from them at the same time. I have ordered saltwater fish and invertebrates from them before but now I'm never gonna order from them again

I'm going to say it's to young to tell for sure. Looking at the anal fin at this moment I'd say female. But that can and will change if it's a young male once it becomes sexually mature. When does that happen you ask? They all seem to be different. My dels didn't show as male until they were past 2 years of age. Ropefish are thought to be 7 to 10 years before being mature. Get those bichir worms killed off. They can cause discoloration and in a closed system who knows what else.
 
Ok thank you for the information. Yeah I noticed the worms a few days after I got her and by that time it spread. I used prazi pro and It knocked it out in 3-4 days I had to find out what it myself because they took almost a week to get back to me. I found out what it was from here.
