I have a 13 inch lap too and it looks like that.

Can the thread starter show a full shot of the birchir? Would love to confirm that this is the real thing!
 
Thanks guys...

That is the key word. Search my threads, he is wild caught from lake Congo in Africa. I posted a full shot with my arm next to him for reference when I got him.
I'll get an updated full body shot so you can easier see the difference in the species. Lap and P bichir bichir are often confused.:)
 
Man bro you have me wanting a Poly! I've allways hated them! But that PBB is just something different... I want some! lol
 
Very nice!
It's looking better by the day.

Not at all.. Polypterus lapradei is a lapradei and the polypterus bichir bichir is the king of polypterus.. this is the largest growing one there is and can put a deep deep hole in your pocket

Actually, congos are the largest growing poly.
 
Thanks guys.

Thanks. Congicus and ansorgii are arguably the largest, but nothing has yet been recorded larger than bichir bichir, as far as I know.
