New thread, time to post some pics. Haven't had an interesting shipment come in for sometime already no choice pics of same bichirs.

Lap, still refuses to fully flare, suspect has been injured bad enough to be unable to do it. Since only his first 3 fins come up.

Lets hope something new comes in so I can post pics of new fishes instead:p

The del will be a great addition to my collection :)

Haha, see how lah bro, trying to pump him now since the indo pbb move hse but he is a small fussy eater. Think really take 1 yr before he can move.:o

WOW the Del really swee... I like the full bands and yellow highlights.

Quick question, is it normal for Laps to be doing that? My del, endli, lap and polli all bought at the same time and ard the same size but the Lap is now almost twice the size as the del. :confused:

Really sharp sharp , time to change your body la. :D

Bro, yr delz band make me itchy. :D

You need a 15" del in your lower jaw tank. Your small one should go into my tank. :)

Is this the poor man's PBB?

Btw, here's the link to a feeding video of my collection! :)

GUYS!!! I hope none of you misunderstand me!! I said it was a "POOR MAN's PBB" because Daniel (Aquahobby) used that term!! Was zapped for this! :o:(

Sry u got zap because of my post bro. Just to clear thr air, daniel has indeed used this term before for this batch of laps. Sry for the confusion.

Thanks bro. I have no worries about the zap. It's just that I don't want people to think that I am belittling your lapradei! In fact, I have a piece from the same batch! :o

The delhezi is damn awesome. wah can't stop looking at it! damn nice :D

Indeed The term fits for a lap with features similar of pbb.
Just gave u back 3 rep. Anyway they don't mean anything .

Thanks for the upzz bro. Btw, some people were asking me about these laps with PBB head. They are just nigerian laps with different headshape. Just to share, there were not many that came in, 5pcs to be exact but Daniel only got 4pcs, the other piece was sold to an unknown person. Bro nid, myself and ZhenXiang has one each. The remaining one piece is in Daniel's display tank. :)

I wonder if that last piece is for sale ? :confused:

He's keeping it to see the development :)

What kind of development are you talking about ? Color ?

I don't know.. Gotta ask him! Maybe how it turns out when it is an adult? Bichirs do change as they grow.. For example, my Volta looks nothing like how it did when I first got him!

any bros experience bichir lying on her back like losing buoyancy...I have one endi like that which has been discussed...now a Lapradei also like that...both captive bred but other tankmates all ok....

I guess that it is stressed. Happened to my ex-endi which recently passed away. Always belly up and bent in a C-shape. Feeds and shits upside down. :eek: The whole ordeal lasted for about a year until it passed away peacefully.

Bro, that day already told u already u like not interested like that, lol. Tml c328? I was thinking of meeting some ppl to pass their jungle laps to them, can pass u urs also.

Thks bro, lucky find in a tank of many, I was suprise that no one took it before me.

Do you feed them feeders? Could be internal parasites
My retro used to do that but recovered after I used Jungle Parasite on it

Is it bloated? If it is, most likely will be what Elindra mentioned. Another possibility is SBP.

We left it there for you:p

Wah. So generous. :D

Ya wor.. we still waited there for him to arrive, guarding the tank.. hee-hee

You were there too leh bro, dun ke ke.:D
Hahaha, thks bros, bro towa, u wanna meet at c328 tml to take the jungle laps?

They are fully on MP...:-(

not bloated...just curled up like a S shape...would SBP happened over night ??...I wonder if it is over feeding...does bichirs have over feeding problem ??

Yes yes...exactly...oh my...so sad....

Bro where can I get jungle parasite ??....guess I miss the recent mass ordering...

Check in new thread!!

When I get some I can sell half to you at cost. Let me know again if you're interested! :)
