Polypterus type

[Alex T]

Hey guys can anybody tell me what type of bichir are this ones, I think one of them is delhezi but I’m not sure about the brown one?
Thanks

The one with the stripes is a delhezi.... the other one has a lot of characteristics that make it hard to figure out at a quick glance.

The eyes are a bit large and a little froggy so leaning toward something captive born. But the pattern on the body look like a couple different polys....

Polyaddict86 , your pretty good at the upper jaws, any clue?

When I bought the little one was in a deplorable condition, his eyes were covered with a white matter or something, ragged fins... now he’s a bit better,you can actually see the eyes.
Hence the question, it was advertised just as Polypterus, nothing more..

Maybe a butt? Poorly marked del? Dont think its a polli or a Palmas. Well maybe Palmas......i know lots of help. Lol.

lol, that is exactly the things I was thinking as I looked at it. First impulse was a del with poor markings but then other things about it looked like a polli....

Might just let it settle in a little and see what it does and then get some new pics. That really is a tough one.

First pic looks like 2 dels. Sometimes when they overbreed they start losing patterns. They still are very pretty though!

2nd pic: looks like a del x retro(or whichever gold one I’m getting confused with lol). Might just be a CB del. Either way, great polys!
