I get a pair of those this friday. What can you say about them? Character, activity levels and so on. I must say i´m excited. I already have ornates, endlicheri and now the lapradei.
 
cool where are the pics? where did you get them? captive or wild caught?
 
I got 1. Very shy, doesnt move much. Very picky eater.
 
They are usually very shy until they reach 15". Once they have size on them you see them move around more. Their colors varies but tend to be a bright green if you have a blue or orange back ground.

mine is pretty shy, stays under drift wood most of the time unless there's food about.
 
Ive had 2, most boring bichir ever :( One was semi SB or something, didnt grow over 15cm for like 2 years and I saw it eat 1 time in 6 months.
My current one is a WC, skinny as hell, just lie there even if I put food infront of it. But it eats from time to time ;)
