Three amigos del/sen/ornate

[Burbotman]

Lots of recent threads showing polypterus lovers pride and joy, here are my 3 doing their thing.
The delhezi is almost 7 years old and just under 13 inches in length.
The ornate is a year and a half and just over 12 inches.
The senegal is 2 years old and is 10 inches.

I am curious if anyone out there has a giant senegal. Most discussion has senegals maxing at around 12 inches. Aquaria central lists them up to 17". I am sure that I saw one around 16" in an LFS several years ago, although time may have clouded the truth.

Who has the largest sengal???? How big???

wut he said what do u feed them

I'll be the first to admit that I overfeed my fish. However between the cats, Jag and SH I always worry that my bichers get enough to eat. I feed right at "lights" out figuring that it gives the bichers a better chance to find food.
Beef Heart
clams
prawns
smelt
hikari carnivore pellets.

In looking at them, I guess they are a little portly.
