All bichirs are captive breeds. Why they are pale...? You don't have any substrates and laps, especially captive breed are picky about their surroundings.

thanks bro king, i try to put substrate next year. when i have budget again :).. but the white bodied lap is different from them, it is really white bodied I dont know why, are they healthy? or in bad condition?

Different individual have different skin tone. Just like as humans. We have darker skin and some with lighter skin. Especially that they are captive breed and looks like they have bad genetics. Still all look healthy.:)
 
Nice collection, btw your P.Congo looks like a Hybrid between P.E Congicus and P.E Endlicheri.

There is only 12 finlet so it can't be Congicus, Congicus usually have 14 finlet. The coloration/pattern remind me of EndlixCongicus hybrid. ;)
