Orino grow out thread

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

Title says it all, I suspect they are farmies but the lfs I got it from has a habit of having really good deals on everything so who knows

1st pic I have of it, unfortunately the other one died after a scuffle with my wolf fish over a pellet



Couple weeks after his buddy died





Most recent pic (taken like 5 minutes ago)



Pics are kind of crappy I know, on Christmas my cousin always brings her crazy nice Nikon, I'll put up some much better ones then

Nice, what size tanks it going in? Saw you were selling some polypterus so I was suspecting something like this

 

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

Haha yepp I'm trying to sell some polys to get more polys lol they always come first in my tanks! But Ive been gathering materials for at least 200 gallon build to be put together in the spring, after realizing using my old pool filter won't work too well (it would work great but the power consumption will be nuts) I gotta figure out filtration.. probably gonna use my 70 as a sump

Red wolf fish, ornate bichir, palmas buettokoferri bichir, palmas polli bichir, IT dat, balzani eartheater, leopard ctenopoma and a big ropefish. Rope is around 12-13 inch, the ornate is about 8, and it goes down from there

Thanks! Hes a nasty one, always him and the dat first to get fed, even before the wolf thats twice their size. Everything is on pellets and the red wolf acts like he doesnt know the pbass or dat are there, he chases the balzani sometimes. Pretty docile at this point, hes at 7-8 inch, barely jumps.

Messed up the arrangement of thos pics! Damn haha her[

Much nicer pic, snapped during a WC a little bit ago. Golds coming out nicely and some nice red n blue is coming in on the tips of the tail, very faint as of this point

Update, the gold and spangles are coming in nicely and the blue on his tail is getting pretty intense, even starting to show blue on his pectorals. Gotta try to get better pics of the tail, about 4-5 inch





Eating about 6-7 pellets a day and some frozen bloodworms and krill
