What's your favorite bichir?

[beblondie]

Shes not grinding her teeth lol yesthats me in my avatar

based on availability P.senegalus is the most ''common'' bichir

i've only owned P. senegalus and they are definately one of the most interesting species of fish i have ever kept.

I've got to agree. Although readily available, the senegals are far from common. They're my first (and as yet only) bichirs, but they are by far the most interesting creatures I've kept in 28 yrs of fishkeeping. I'm so hooked! Why didn't you guys warn me they're this addictive?? Well, maybe you did.....

Looking to get a Del next........

actually they are truely amazing fish.Polypterids have existed since before the time of the major diversifacation of dinosaurs,a time when scientists tell us there was 1 major land mass.-Anne

Other: Delhezi

gotta agree...delhezi is by far my favorite

 

[beblondie]

I think delhezis are the prettiest of the bunch just my opinion tho-Anne

I like all of them lol. They all look different and have their own personalities that it's hard to just choose one. If going by looks I'd go with ornate, then a delhezi. If going by personality then senegal wins hands down.

No I have them, def. endlicheri.

Yup but the only pics I have seen are in the aqualog book.Their natural range is very limited (found only in the Cross river) the info i have is they reach 16-17 inches mottled dorsal and orangish ventral body color with black pectoral fins.common name cameroon-Anne
