So I checked out Fish Etc's. new stock list and saw they have palmas available (sub species not listed) and since I don't have one in my collection, I messaged Cooper and said I'd be stopping by to pick one up.
He was cool enough to put a hold on it for me.
So I rolled up last night, anxiously waiting to see if they had polii, buettikoferi, etc.. but instead I found a tank with 2 lower jaw bichirs, labled as "Palmas Bichir" - $45
It was a great surprise, they're either Polypterus lapradei, or Polypterus congicus; so I picked one up anyways.
It looks just like marvinbakers congi posted in this thread: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49394
No bold pattern, just a green tint, with no pattern on the pectoral fins. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
This is my first lower-jaw bichir, because I used to not like them, but then again, I could never find them
I hope it's congi because that's the true monster poly
