Strangely, it eats like no tomorrow but it remains skinny as ever, growing horizontally rather than vertically. Awesome looking PBB BTW I've never seen this kind of colouration before.

@Jarrick & Trix: Very nice looking dels, bros

Sorry to deviate a bit. I got this piece of Lap recently due to its bandless when I saw it in the tank. However after a few days in my tank, it start to show greyish white.

I wonder if it is a platinum or just a bandless lap. Can anyone ID/advice?

Nice bandless Lap.

I had a WC one once that I had till about 16".
It NEVER got the bands!
Looked almost identical.

I would most definately say not platinum, but definately a keeper!

Good!! I knew I got something special what I saw this piece.

Still got some time before it gets bigger and I am praying that it got more white by then.

Wow Massive quake and tsunami hit us yesterday!
Family evacuated and this morning had to see if I had lost my home (and my bichirs!!!)
My house is a little damaged, and lots of destruction everywhere but it withstood everything.

Major problem though is no power through the night, so all my tanks have been reset...

Now I have no choice but to cycle 8 large tanks with fish in :-(

Nature can be a real ******* at times!

good to see that your family and collections are fine. bichirs are very hardy fishes. they can withstand the cycling.

Got this piece from 328 recently.
Anyone can help to ID ?
My guess is a normal lap, correct me if I am wrong.
