I have been waiting on this for a while. I had originally seen one at Wet Spot some time back and fell in love with the look and coloration of this particular bichir. It is one of the lower jaw species which are the big boys in the bichir world. This is a wild caught Koliba.
You can tell by the shadow in the box that it is a big boy! It came in at least 14"
Curled up in the bucket, acclimating for the transfer into a 75g quarantine
K-Rex in the house... at least its temporary home in the 75g. lol, I call it Rex or K-Rex because its full name is 'Kolibasaurus Rex'. Yes it got a prehistoric dino name.
I know it does not look like much, in fact when it first came in, right after acclimation the seller sent me this pic. Needless to say it was a bit disappointing!
But after a night settling into the tank it turned out to look like this!
