Started all over again with my Polypterus

[sturgeonlover]

Hey guys, I started all over again with my polys, my big guys are gone, I only kept my big lap because he was the only one who didnt have a appetite for smaller fishes. Take a look, will post more, losts have been hiding, and sorry for bad pictures, i used my phone, will repost with camera in time. THANK YOU!

Albino(I think he is short bodied, eats a lot, never grows)
Senegalus(I like his color)
Delhezi and Endlicher(I think the endlic is going to be a short bodied he eats the most, doesnt get longer)
New baby Weeksi(camera shy, I miss my older one, ornate hiding inside)
Last 2 hybrid(BIG HEAD!)

Is it just me or do they kind of have a puppydog type of personality?

did you get them all at once? They all look similar size.

Hey thanks!!

Only the albinos(8 months) and the dels(3 months) are older and the test I got them through out the month. While I accumulated the smaller ones I sold off my bigger ones. Really miss my big ones though, but I had this monster weeksi that ate things 3/4th his size.

I honestly cant tell, just taking a logical guess, because my endli and albino I had for a long time, they EAT ALOT, more than any of my other bichirs yet they only gotta fatter and not longer.
