Very nice photos! BTW your senegal bichir is a senegal x polli hybrid. Not a pure breed senegal. You got yourself a hybrid bichir.

this is also what i'm thinking due to the striking color!

That could explain why the head shape looked like a Palmas Polli and dorsal fin looking different. Coloration was a bit more yellow. :)
 
Thank you guys, Good to see all the senegal loving in here hahahha

My senegal is now around 22cms and has grown pretty fast.

Imma take your word for it, all this time i thought he was a special senegal cos of it's goldie/olive shade. It's gonna be interesting to see what it will look like when larger.

Nice! I got him a female but she has bloat so i'm currently treating her before she goes in the big tank. Does senegals breed in home aquarims?

Definitely sounds like it's stunted cos mine grew pretty quick

Some pics of your tiger bichir?

The tiger rarely comes out, i'll try and get some pics after the holidays.
 
This thread is relevant to my interests, I really like delhezis and ornates, but I can get small senegals at petsmart for just $5...they do seem bland compared to the other two I mentioned but they were pretty friendly and swam all around the tank at the lfs.

How long can a pair of 4 inch senegals live in a 20 long with a 5 inch bgk?
 
wow.. i love it.
 
granted senagals has pretty boring color not like the others but i can tell you they r not boring to watch and they r indeed fearless and stuborn
