Quick update on my small bichirs

[Cohazard]

I snapped a few shots of the smaller bichirs in my collection right now, I call them 'the kids'.

First are the babies in my snail/grow-out tank, a trio of endlis, an ornate, and the delhezi I swooped up today.

The endlis have only grown about 1" surprisingly. The ornate doesn't look like it's grown at all.

The poor little del got it's butt munched some point between putting him in the tank, and when I did a water change. Luckily it's not that bad and it'll heal in a week.

And the older kids in the 120g, I bumped the baby platinum up and it's doing fine, thankfully none of the other bichirs attacked it.

This is the young plat, the little long fin, and little TC the endli, who is now double the original size I got him at.

That delhezi's fins are kinda unique! I'm seeing more and more cv maju farm captive breed bichirs these days.

More details please I don't know anything about farming out there. Is CV Maju the name of the farm? What country is that from?

CV MAJU is an Arowana farm from Indonesia, but they also breed captive bichirs and other fish. Telling from their patterns, they mostly came from CV Maju. As far as I know they were the first to produced this kind in Indonesia. The rest of the Indonesian bichir breeders probably got their breeding stocks from them. I got some of my unusual patterned endli and delhezi from the too.

These bichirs are my own personal hand pick ones.

Do you think the first delhezi and mine look stubby?

I notice that your second delhezi is longer, and mine looked shorter than most at the shop.
