My Bichirs!

I didnt even know they were coming in yet, was totally expecting later in the week, lol
With all the polys put into the 210g tank at the same time and two being much larger than the endli, you should have a better time getting them to get along.
Hard to tell from the pictures as to who is who since they are both laps. But once they color up it should be noticeable. The Faranah should have more of a dark green with a crinkle fry pattern and the Koloton a brownish with more elongated strips with kind of a broken chain pattern. Best way I can describe them.
They look good with a little meat on them. Not too skinny which is nice.
I like to use Tetra Parasite guard. It has different meds to take care of both internal and external parasites. Not uncommon for wild caught fish to have these but surprised Wet Spot did not treat before selling. I would inform them of the fact the fish has external parasites and send them a picture. You spent good money for those two fish to have that issue right off the bat.

I saw a video where they actually raised a senegal bichir on land!Nice new additions. The look like they could walk on land!
I hope you get the parasites cleared up with no problems.

Here were the pics from Wet Spot to help you identify your laps as they color up. Im guessing on the match
Im thinking Faranah because of the blocky head shape
Im thinking Koloton because of the chain pattern on the side

I think "biker" is also correct, which is how it is pronounced in the USThat was interesting.
And that's how you pronounce bichir! I'm glad I've never said it out loud in front of anyone.

Yes, I think you are right! The Koloton gill plate also seems to have the radial look to it like in the pic@FishBeast
