senegal bichir

[ctenopoma]

are senegal bichirs the only polypterus also known as the dinosaur eel? because at petsmart they are listed under dinosaur eel and I want to make sure it's a senegalus so I don't buy one that will grow to huge for my tank such as an ornate.

-thanks to all that reply.

all petsmart bichirs are sens.

Dinosaur eel sounds cooler than something the staff there probably can't even pronounce.

I just went out and got one for 39.99 I wanted him/her really bad though he/shes living in a 10 gallon and is about 3 inches when it grows I will move it into a 20 gallon, then eventually a 55 where it will live out it's hopefully long live.

WOW, petsmart has senegals on sale here for $5.99.

39.99?!?!? from petsmart?!?!?!?!?

 

[ctenopoma]

it was the last one there maybe thats why :s I feel ripped off but it looks so cool!

 

[smpage]

could have gotten a lapradei for that much haha. Of course, the key here is that you're happy. Senegals are pretty active and entertaining.

sometimes palmas polli get shipped in to right? thats just what i thought. if it was a palmas polli than the price wasnt as crazy, but still you could have spent a few extra minutes driving around to find another petsmart.
