Cool lookin lil' booger! Did you breed it? I'm clueless about Birchirs. What do the parents look like? Will it change color as it grows?

Interesting, I wonder what it’ll look like fully grown.

I know him as personal and he is great breeder and personal.

I've also got a "Skeleton" variant which has transparent scale mutation from P. palmas but never seen Piebald one.
(And yes, I think this one is one and only.)

I can't really sure why only P. palmas show this kind of mutation more often than any other species of bichirs.

But one of his breeding parents were from my strain, which share parents with my old "Skeleton" specimen so there genetic might effect for that rare mutation too.

Neat! I have always been a fan of bichirs and lungfish

What a beauty! Looks like a little dragon. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out once it matures.

What are the tubules protruding from the nostrils?

That’s awesome. You guys are doing great things for the bichir hobby!
