It's playing music with Harmonica lah bro, hahaha..

You going to have PBB x Xingu... Haha
It also look like ray mating in another point of view.

A good PBB should be of what color? Goldish/yellow, brown or green? And 2ndly, can we change the color?

Can i ask of fellow bros help to in identifying what I just bought? also, i am keen to know how many finlets you think there are on this one too.

Color differs with background color/sand.
No guideline on best practice/best colors.
What color you like it, you decide.
I prefer the olive green contrast.

Generally wildcaught ones are only available in bigger size around 10".

The above Bichir has 16 possibly 17 finlets.

To be more clear, the finlets need to be more upright, so we can see where they join to the caudal fin.

18 finlets? never see so many before, maybe i suaku. but nice catch bro!

Desmond: I don't no idea it would turn out so big. How do I make it smaller?

Tokyogasmask: I thought it would be a 18 finlets because I count by the dorsal spines. As depicted, I drew 2 circles to compare between the 18th dorsal spine and the pseudo 19th one.

Fire87: I either want it golden or green. How can I achieve that?

Fins&Tails: I got this piece due to the 18 finlets (based on my interpretation). Hopefully I am right about the count. The patterns on this piece - I didn't bother myself with it. Haha.

Flavs: I would hope its not a Lap.


Also, can I know if you guys think this looks like kamihata pbb?

Hmm.. use paint or photoshop to resize it bro..

Wait for it to settle down first then the colour will show out bro.

Here is the pic of my KPBB:


Here is another pic of my ex IPBB for your comparison as well.
