Through looking this pic,
The pcs that looks towards the corner of the tank. Looks kind of similar. Pardon me as i am still learning.

I won't rule out that possibility.

There's someone who did that?? He must be rich! No lah... Now, I'm able to appreciate the wild instincts of these bichirs. They can grab MP in mid water! Never seen that in CB bichirs that I had before.

Hahaha.. Me too! I have been playing around with them all this while! Now, I gotta think twice...

Ouch! Bro washywashy
I wouldnt want to imagine if it was a close to 3ft long Ansorgii biting!

Anyway, just wanna share my Endlicheri which i got it on March this year. He was 3 inch back then, currently 8 inches.
Still intrigued on why his external gills have yet to disappear at this age. Nevertheless cute fella

Still trying to take a photo of the Ansorgii and Nigerian Lap, but at the moment they're still shy and hiding

Interesting! If I remember correctly, the external gills shorten when there is enough oxygen in the water. Not too sure about this though.. MP diet bro?

Btw, where did you get your gravel from? Looks good!

I hear the same things too bro. But oxygen wise im sure it suffice in my tank as my other bichirs gills disappeared as they grow up.

Thanks bro Gravels are from Seaview. They tagged it as Red "Something" cant remember exact name. and part of it are from Hougang St.21, the tank maker shop, i cant remember the shop name. Their gravel "redness" are lighter compared to seaview ones which are darker red.

Oh yes, Diet was MP before, but lately he has been ignoring MP and consumed both sinking and floating pellets instead.

Thanks for the info bro!! Appreciate it

bro washywashy.. looks really bad! Didn't know they have such sharp teeth until i saw my CB lap's one today when i netted it out to measure it's length!

anyway, bro ben and nid.. here's the red quartz picture.. water very murky now thanks to me forgettin to wash the gravel. very thin layer only.. so some part can see the black base...
