Anytime you have to bring your fish home from the LFS in a box, you've had a good trip. I picked up the two polypterus for $24 each. They said they were Concigus on the shipping form. Are they? I need to fatten them up!!

Congrats! Those are definitely congicus. I have 2 myself. They will fatten up in no time. Congrats again!
 
not congicus. those are P. bichir lapradei. good looking fish. looks like decent size. how big?
 
Yeah, they are good size already....with the fins the big one is close to 12". I thought that it was a great find to get them grown out a little already.

I agree, def. lapradei. Nice fish.
 
12" for $24, thats an awesome deal :headbang2
i'm 110% sure those are P. bichir lapradei :D if you aren't convinced, check out JESToner's new pickups thread (couple threads below yours). his 5th and 8th pics are lapradei.
 
makes me wonder if after somebody answers others just ride the bandwagon and go with his answer.

but either way, you got yourself a good fish. if i had a large enough tank i'd bypass the standard endli and go with lap instead :)
 
yup they look exactly like my friends lap in a light substrate. try putting them in a darker substrate tank they look way better as mine doesn't look anything like yours in the pic.
