Whats Your Favorite Bichir

[oregonian]

Lapradei, if you think sen look primitive check out Starla


don't see the big love of ornates. all look the same to me.

 

[Pablorce]

that is a pretty rad looking fish, love it. definitely screams primitive!

I would have to say Delhezi because they have great patterns and they don't get too big so everyone can join in the fun.

Oh come on Hao, it's not fare to the palmas complex as every palmas complex have their own unique appearance and different personalities.

I would vote PBB as it's the only bichir that I'm waiting for.

From first to last:
Polypterus bichir bichir
Polypterus endlicheri endlicheri
Polypterus bichir lapradei
Polypterus ansorgii
Polypterus tuegelsi
Polypterus palmas palmas
Polypterus delhezi
Polypterus palmas buetttikoferi
Polypterus weeksii
Polypterus endlicgeri congicus
Polypterus mokelembebe
Polypterus retropinnis
Polypterus palmas polli
Polypterus ornatipinnis
Erpetoichthys calabaricus
Polypterus senegalus

Hi,I like ornate the best.

 

[Red tail catking]

Congo I'm getting one soon.

 

[WHITECJ2OW]

If this is the case then youc an say all polys are bichirs and all bichirs are fish therefore what is your favorite fish. I agreed it's a senegal but variations does make a difference. A platinum cost $150 vs $5 regular senegal.

your logic is wrong, a platinum polypterus senegalus and a polypterus senegalus are the same species therefore the same fish.
a polypterus senegalus and a polypterus endlicheri are not both polypterus senegalus.

Variations or not poly senegals are the same fish.

 

[Cohazard]

I like all of them, I tried to pick a favorite, but I just can't.

 

[Cerbios]

Haven t personally seen on species on the list. Of the Bichirs Ive seen the delhezi is my favorite. I like bichir's for their ancient look and to me the delhezi looks the most ancient.
