The one with the tail bite reminds me of how cb endlis get those horizontal markings. The tall finlets is all lap. Still young and kind a hard to say at the moment. The head reminds me of both lap and endli. What are ya'all opinion?
Teugelsi growout?

Agreed, laps are awesome. Mine were good eaters, chowing down on pellets, basa, tilapia, red wrigglers etc. Not bullies, but not one to be pushed around by the bigger fish either. Not even the ornate who was substantially larger. Nothing special, poly-wise in their care from my perspective.
That first one has pretty markings. Should turn out to be a stunner
O
+1, bloodworm dont have alot of nutrients like pellet and tilapia.
Here's a lap x endli hybrid from Indonesia. Look at he horizontal markings. Kinda similar. Once again, your piece is still young. I suspect yours will look like this but with much taller finlets.
I just love the horizontal markings and extra long/flat head laps get. They look so prehistoric to me. I'll have to learn how to do this fin counting you guys are talking about. There's all sorts of mixed up polys around here. They aren't very popular so none of the stores are careful about ordering them. I've seen endlis and senegals in a tank of dels that the store owner just said were funny looking dels.
+1 with the second poly, looks like lapxendli, unique specimen. We usually see a ansorgiixendli but not alot of lapxendli.
I just edited my post #34 and included a side by side with Experiment397 fish. Wadda ya all think?
I think if mine ends up looking anything like the lapxendli hybrids I've seen on MFK I'll be more than happy. So i know laps get pretty massive. How long until they're full sized? I was planning on trying to build or purchase a larger tank, 300 or so, in a few years as my dats and TT got bigger. But will 2 laps be okay in a 125 for a few years?
I think they have the same growth rate as a cb endli, they will grow maybe 10"-12" the first year and slow down, but if your lucky they may grow bigger.
Okay good to know. Most of my fish will be hovering at the 10-12" mark for a while or will take forever to even reach that (Looking at you Dats) so I'm hoping the 125 won't be an issue until I finish up Nursing school and have the time and money to build a truly monsterous setup.
