Thanks.

Why?

@darknights99

There are 3 other Laps for sale, nearly the place where i live.
You think i should buy them??
Are they so special?
Do you think they will breed in my tank?

By the way, what's the right temperature for the Bichirs.
Actually i have 26°C in the Tank.

That is a good temperature. You want to keep it around the 22-28 degrees Celsius or around 76-82 degrees Farenheit in your tank. Bichirs are hardy fish though and can handle a wide range of temperatures.

Another Question:

Is this a P.Ornatipinnis or a P. weeksii?

I know Wiki is the worst place to look for Bichirs but here is the Link:

nice ornatipinnis there!

btw, about the wiki pic, it's actually a delhezi.

if you like them and hard to find in your area, sure, but no they're not really special. as for breeding, if you want it to occur naturally, i'm gonna say very very slim chance (i.e. realistically, i'd say no)
