Yes, they are pale when overnight with lights off. However, the white base may have taken effect onto your pbb too. |

Your pbb is from Lake Chad, which extends over Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Nigeria and although we have abundance of them from shipment in recent time, it has actually lost 80percent of its water since 1980. PBB from lake Turkana, Kenya are still highly sought after, but I read that they are not endermic to the lake as when the water rises, it is then connected to lake Omo which non-endermic fish species may swim out to spawn. Species of bichirs available in lake Turkana are the PBB and senegalus. Go google on both Lakes and you are able to see that they are sinking to pond size on the map, lol... The above are just from my little knowledge from read-up, never been to Africa, not to say the Lakes themselves, so I just appreciate the efforts that all our local lfs have bring to us, be it a PBB from Chad or Turkana. It's just more fun to know what we are keeping |
