I am thinking about getting rid of my big paloga bichirs the endli and the 2 ornates, because I want to move in the mokelembebe and at their growing rate he is never going in with the fat endli, I just don't trust him. lol I feel like a traitor..
I am looking for a new toyin bichir to get myself for christmas if I can sell my ornates and endli.
To rockbass from rockbass.:)
I want an upperjaw species that is pretty active..perferably under 100 bucks shipped and not one of the ones I have..
I have the following..
Senegal..of course don't we all.:D
2Delhezi
1Palmas B
1Teugulsi
1Mokelembebe
2Ornates
and a fat endli..
The reason I don't want an lower jaw is mainly just inactivity, my local fish store has ripoff laps for $80..but I don't really like them because they just sit there.

I'm looking at retropinnis, palmas palmas, and weeksi, but it seems like retropinnis looks like a short teugulsi and palmas p and weeksi look real similar to the delhezi. Are there any other cool dinosaurs or do I have the cool ones.
Thanks any suggestions are welcome! What do you guys have?
 
If you want smaller species of bichirs buy all the upper jaw except for the weeksii, ornate and tuegelsi as they can get up 18-20"+. The rest will just grow 14" or smaller. There is one wild caught specimen of a beutt that is 21". Won't happen in aquaria though and 13-15 inches more likely.

Well I already bought an ornate and teugulsi. haha but teugulsi is my favorite over all upper or lower. I think I am going to go with palmas palmas if he has them in stock, but we are getting buried by the snow up here.:irked: Not the best time of the year for a poly to make a trip from texas to pennsylvania!
