My guess is that as your tastes mature you will be less inclined to want captive bred fish, as they look quite deformed once you have seen a great deal of wild caught species.

My favorite poly are lapradei, and koliba( type of lapradei right?) my goal is to get a koliba but I can't find any small enough for this tank rn so might have to wait. I think I'm gonna go endli and ornate, and a delhezi if i can find one. Will that work?

That depends on the del some grow decently quick others slow as hell .... But that's a better choice than the buetikoferi .... I agree with lion ... I wouldn't get 2 I anything to u have ventured around with the species a little bit if u r planning on being a bichir keeper and gettin more

His prices are listed.

And yes, Koliba is a specific species of lapradei. Lapradei are a part of the bichir complex which includes the beautiful and pricy PBB.

Anything you buy from Jason will have either outgrown or will outgrow a 30 gallon tank quickly. The smallest available species he has at the moment both possess extremely rapid growth rates (Ansorgii and BV Endli). My BV endli went from 5" to 10" in a handful of months. I feed massivore and talapia and let my polys eat until they are full almost every day.

I think as of right now a "Koliba" is just a lap collected from a different water system. It's not a described species yet (at least that I've heard of).
