Teugulsi Size

- Start date
There ya go. I didn't want to reach too deep into my pockets so I got a baby one, it was real fun growing him out. If he is maxed out growing I'll still be happy. The thing I love about the teugulsi the most is when people come over and don't notice he is in the tank under the driftwood, until he comes out for a big gulp of air. Everyone always goes...WHAT THE HECK IS THAT! haha By far my favorite poly, active and huge.FishNCash;4085959; said:
Thanks rj, good luck with the pearl. Not really a true monster yet. imo if it is only a year old hopefully it still has some big fish genetics left to use up. lolrj32l;4085850; said:
Hello,
as often the size of bichirs is wrong in the most literature. Unfortunately the first one who seems to be big is the one who has the final size (remember P.ornatipinnis - really grows up over 60cm or P. ansorgii who is not the smallest - as said in the most cases of description - maybe it is one of the biggest ones!). For my opinion very un-scientific way ...
Mine is about 55cm long, here are some pics:

Hello!
First - to answer FishNCash - life is treating me after radiation of my head a bit nasty. A bit like after a headshot ... my short time memory is very bad, my nerves are damaged a lot (it's difficult for me to walk) and i'm used to sleep suddenly on any place. But now i do not have those monstrous headache that paralyzed every action i wanted to do over four weeks. So i'm able to work on my CD.
Dear Rockbass6 - the colouration of bichirs is dependent on the colouration of the ground/gravel of the tank. Lighter gravel causes lighter, gentle patterned bichirs - darker gravel causes more contrasted, darker bichirs (as i could watch in my tanks, but i do not know if it's consequent regular). In the case of P.teugelsi i don't know if there is a change from youth to adult. The experiences about these wonderful fish are soooo young and it seems to be the possibility that there may be some surprises!
Greetings Uwe
