So I recently posted about my “Delhezi” bichir I bought like a month ago or so. Well turns out I was sold the WRONG bichir! 
. He turned out to be a saddled/ endlicheri bichir. Which get up to 30 or 35 inches, wayyyy too big for my 125 us gallon. And yea they grow super slow once they hit the 12 inches or so. But I’m not a big fan of the body shape like the “short body”. I still have him/her in my 55 gallon but I’ll probably raise him up a bit and try to sell it back to the LFS I got it from for more moolah!. So yea I was excited about having a “Delhezi” bichir with 2 Oscar’s in my 125… now on the bright side, friday I got a call from another LFS that’s like 30 minutes away when I was at work. That they had an ornate bichir… WOAH! Ornate?! Not so common in the fish stores here where I live besides the senegals.. but yea they told me that they had it for a few months they just didn’t know because it was always hiding in a waterfall decor… so they never saw it, and I remember calling like 4-5 times each week to see if they’d get any they were selling it for 110 I believe but I got it for 75 because they were “sorry” for telling me they didn’t have one, still expensive but better than anything right? So I went to pick it up , it’s like 3.4 inches maybe ? So I’m going to grow it out in my 55 with my BN Pleco and EBA cichlid until he/she is big enough to go with my Oscar’s which are currently around 4 inches. But does anyone have any name suggestions for this little guy? My Albino Oscar’s name is Zeus and my Red Oscar is Hades.
