Here is an pic of my polypterus weeksii. Had her shipped in last June, she was a thin 9". Now she is 16" with an ever increasing girth.

Just to keep her in perspective, here is a photo of her with the big guy of the tank:):)

Nice! That is one super green weeksii.

Thanks King, that is the one Kole shipped me.

I will put some pics up later of the Congicus he sent me last week.
 
I'm thinking twice about the size of the weeksii though when I looked at the second pics. Can you take pics of that weeksii right next to a ruler? I'm just saying as when I looked at the suction of that canister filter makes me think that the ornates is around 15-16 inches and the weeksii is probably smaller than 16". I'm guessing 12-13 inches. I could be wrong. Lol!

Wow what else you got from Kole? You should get some 16-18 inches Nigerian Lapradei that looks like a PBB, as I think he's gonna give you a very good deal. He wants them gone and he got about 10+/- left or so. I'm getting 3 more of those.

The Ornate is 19 1/2 inches, I am swapping the tank out next week with a 165, I will post some good ruler shots when they are out of the tank.
 
Nice. Is that a bowfin next to it in the first pic? Do you actually have any Burbot? If so the Native forum would love some pics
