Polypterus teugelsi pics! Can you count??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ok but lets really get to the point of this thread! counting!
I think i can count I made use of a photo editing program to dot off the scales to make it less confusing. I count 64 scaled. It gets kinda unclear near the tail as they dont follow a totally straight line anymore...

u cant really see the red dots on the picture but if u save it and zoom in u can see them

Can u post some pix of the congicus? I want one so bad!

These are the only pics I got at the mo, there in a very low light tank together with the black aro. Check the pics at the bottom of the post, I can't seem to get them here and go away there.

:WHOA: how much did they big guys cost? i read that they are rarer then ansorgii and those are going for $500.:WHOA:

Thanks! I payed a good price imo.

mb_barton;832314; said:
u r absolutely right... they are rarer than ansorgii and much better looking too... but price isnt important right guys? afteral price is just a number... fish are only worth what your willing to pay for them... and people like koen are willing to pay so just accept the fact that koen is THE MAN with the coolest fish and stop asking about the price...

ps... my hand is getting famous with these fish :P

The man is an overstatement bro :D

Are these the largest non-lower jaw bichir? Biggest i've seen so far.

Full tank shots Koen?

There still smaller than a ornate can get. I will try a full tank shot soon.

mb_barton;832958; said:
Yea I want some full tank shots too...
and to answer your question, the teugelsi is supposed to reach a max of 45 cm according to reports, but these are pretty much there or already over it, so I dont think the reports are very accurate. But the Ornatipinnis is supposed to reach about 65 cm. SO according to the books the ornate is bigger but who knows how big these teugelsis really get.

Yeah, what he said (post whore :grinno: ).

You got a good price on them! How much were they USD? (Over $275 is my guess).

They look great man. Can't wait to see more pics of them.

Thanks you! 1.00 EUR = 1.35939 USD, so about $350 :WHOA:

Taz2478;834453; said:
$341ea hope ya got free shipping LOL

those look almost like the buettikoferi my bro got.

Yeah, they do resemble some bichir...but then there the same species of fish, just a different kind.
