So I unfortunately don't have any pictures
, but I can't get over these bichirs I saw. The tank is labeled "marbled bichirs" and they are $55 a piece.
The thing is though, they look NOTHING like typical endli bichir babies. Even though they are only ~2.5-3", they are EXTREMELY fat and stubby.

Take the babies in that vid, except half the length and TWICE the width at least, the head width was pretty much the body width, and the head width was wider than the ones in that vid.
They looked a lot like the "prehistoric monster fish" or something, I passed by the tank twice, because I didn't think the short, stubby fish was a bichir til I looked closer. They seriously look like a bichir "stub".
I looked at short bodied bichirs, and they don't look like that, they have a fairly even thick width, it doesn't narrow much at the tail. They are very healthy though.
I'll try to get pictures sometime, but anyone have any insight on these fish?

I found this pic on MFK, take him/her and "cut" their body in half, then ~1.5-2x the width, that's exactly what they look like.
