It does seems that we locals require more experience to tell apart a PBL and PBB which display traits of both species. How do you source out these images BTW? Last edited by Tendou Souji; 06-03-2011 at 11:24 PM. |

Not ill treated at all! Whilst it isn't the fattest of fish I have seen, and I would believe that the original owners (Who I know VERY well, and breed Polypterus on quite a large scale) wouldn't feed as much as I would normally feed my Bichirs, The fish is a male, and is from Turkana region. One of and the main differences between the regions is the Turkana are supposed to grow quite a bit longer. This fish could do with some pumping, it is far from malnourished. It really is a very long fish. As for the Endli, yes pattern and also color vary from region to region, but I find can also vary individually between regions too!!! And yup, Endli rock no matter where they are from. |
