So here it is as promised, I was doing a photoshoot of my fish so decided to net up my babies and get some good photos for you all

Sorry for the lowish quality. had to crop the photos to get them uploaded

First up my wild caught female Senegal bichir from Nigeria - roughly 6"



Decided to jump the tub as well

Then Nibblet my CB Senegal - 4.5"

In tank shots will come soon


It's quite the difference in head length and shape!

Nice pics.

Seems the wild caught sen displays the traits we like in our poly with the more elongated body and head. I would really be interested to see what the final adult size on the wc sen will turn out to be since so many cb seem to stay relatively modest sized.

Nice, WC look similar to any palmas complex Wc species, i mean the head shape the how the body looks longer.

I noticed a color difference also.

I hope to keep them long enough to do so. the quoted size is 16" so let's see

Maybe it is similar, palmas were in the same shipment actually

I noticed a color difference also.

The difference was clear from day one. I'm hoping tan sand will help enhance the colour when I get it

A bit. Fins were tattered on arrival but not too much aggression seems to be around now, hopefully when i add sand the whole thing will calm down. They avoid each other for the most part
