a few pic’s of 3 new bichir's who were recently added to my 240g , thought I’d share

I've noticed 2 seem to be paired up, they stick close together while the 3rd is very personable always up looking for food,

here's the one who's always curious when I approach

and the other 2 , they didn’t feel like coming any closer then this i'll try to get close-up’s later, I noticed while flipping through dozens of pictures that there is a difference in skull shape between the 2, I'm wondering if this is an indication of gender ?? I’m going to have to do some more research !

Wow gorgeous polys. looking great.
 
Nice Os mate how big are they,also a full tank shot would be awesome.
 
I think you can name the 3rd one "Glutton"
 
Thanks everyone, they are roughly 14-15 " , As for full tank shot's i'll try to grab some in the near future ,

in the mean time anyone interested check out my other threads I've recently posted lot's of pic's of the bichir's tankmates, my Aro, oscar, endlies, indo dat's ect, as well as some full tank video alredy posted in other threads!
 
quick tank shot, lot's of big fish in it, but alway looks empty when the poly's are piled in that hollow log lol
