Polypterus senegalus "Lake Turkana"

[HumanBean]

Really wanted to setup a tank with lower jaws recently But now I want 1 or 2 turkanas.
They are beautiful and colors are magnificent with proper substrate

Some random shots of the Turkana gang that I took in December. Last update for 2024.

Just some photos taken this month. Swapped out the garnet sand for something more natural as well.

just an update on the Turkana squad. Random shots over the last 2 months or so. They haven’t really piled up together lately so no group shot.

Added 2 more Turkana senegalus on June 26th, 2025
roughly 25 cm and 30 cm (10” and 12”), super thin. Should be interesting to see them develop. Hopefully these will grow big like my other ones.
