I Posted these photos on another polypterys section, but I belive this would be the correct place to put them.

These are some pictures of the small ones I have. The bigger ones are on a tank and its really hard to take a photo.

I´m going to try and take some pics of a new Ornatipinis I´ve got thats a litle bigger than the small ones on the pics.
 
Thanks,
Most of these on the photos are at my Fishroom for 2 Months, the Albino I´ve got it 1 Month ago, and the Senegalus that you see feeding is from a group of 20 that came one year ago and are now about 30cm (12")
 
How big are the ones in the big tank? How big is the tank and what species are there?
I would love too see pictures of the big tank, the little ones look great, especially the ornates and delhezi's.
 
The big ones are 25-30cm (is 10" or a litle more). They are on a 1x1x1meter tank (its like an liquid transport tank - IBC with no top) they are there to grow not to show, so there´s no good pictures and since I also have there some large Panaques and some wood its quite hard to take a good shot. I´ll try and put one in another tank to take some shots next week.
 
how big will they get?
 
Wicht ones? the senegalus or the ornatipinis?

The Ornatipinis usualy get bigger then the Senegalus 25inches?(60cm) and the senegalus around 20inches(50cm)
 
either or. I just wanted to see if i could get one in my 105 gall. with my o's, but i guess not as it is only 42 inches.
 
Senegalus usually maxes out at 12", 14" max, you should be golden if the o's aren't too big to eat the senegalus.
50cm senegalus is bulls*it, unless it is wild caught turkana or something, but they are rare and more expensive.
