A specialty store here has a couple of wild caught weeksiis and congicus. The weeksiis cost around 50$ and the congicus around 80$. Both are at around 8-10" in length. Would be putting them in a tank with a lap, ornate, and some endlis. What would you guys buy and why? Both are WC.

Why not both? i would choose the congicus because it looks more impressive when they get 24 inches+. They are one of the largest species of bichir no doubt. A true showcase fish IMO.

Weeksis aren't half bad either. The patterns are beautiful, and I like the unique big head. They are also one of the earliest species of bichirs in the evolution. A must have.
 
Sorry the place is in the Ph lol. Wish I could get both but I'm still a college student and am only able to save money through my allowance. Would probably skip the weeksii if I get the congicus and wait for another WC lower jaw like the ansorgii or another lap. Or if the weeksiis are still available next month, might buy one too. Hehe :D

I apologize didn't read entire thread first, after seeing stock would go with the Cong.:)
