[crystal1994ymail]

what the hell is that!

[JDCredible]

Mine is 1 foot long and it was only 10 bucks so I put him in my 400 gallon Aquarian (I bought him 1 foot long)

[liloh3r0]

[maplerocks2429]

[liloh3r0]

what kind of bichir are these are they senegal bichir ???

[moormandrm]

@liloh3r0 they are dinosour bichirs i have one mine is 8"

[dirtycrase]

i have one of that and with a size of 7 to 8 inch!!! i feed it with shrimp and sometimes chicken breast but just a small part of it!!! worms also rocks!!! i think they are blind and only depends on sense of smell!!! i bought it for only 10dollar in peso!!!

[wonderboy2402]

@dirtycrase They most certainly are not blind. I know mine for a fact as extremely sharp vision, and if i wiggle my pinky on one side of the tank, it will come over and investigate it. He also like to swim to the corner of my desk and look at me when he wants to be fed.

[Dirtboy101]

They don't look too happy in that tank.

[leeoh08red]

[AsianFusionProdukion]

[batran5]

[Fshlver]

will this dinosaur eel go with african cichlids?

[a518guerilla666]

depends on how big and how established you african cichlid tank is, if you have small fish he'll eat them...but you have to take into consideration that dragonfish cant see worth a damn...if its a true dragon fish..you can tell by the pinhead sized eyeballs

[stevemen7272]

Did you ask the girl with the broom to get you some snails from the cold water tank? The ones at the very bottom? Because my man Deuce Bigelow would have!

[Omg1tsKyle]

its a dinosaur bichir

[dylangeremia]

Haha Zane you retard, its a senegal bichir... a "spike eel?" wtf is that... read up before you start running your mouth with useless information.

[rba718]

That's a Polypterus Bichir, looks like a Palmas or maybe just an Albino, I'm not sure.

They are not Eels.

They are called dinosaurs simply because they've barely evolved at all in the past few million years.

They are actually pretty smart and notice a lot of things outside of their tank. Their sense of smell is incredible.

[Zane560]

thats a spike eel you idiots........

[masversion1]

thanks for letting us know wat it is. screw the idiots that gave u a negative feedback

[FluffyMuffinofDoom]

Not so much that little guy is a Polypterus senegalus senegalus,or Senegal Bichir, I have one sitting in my tank right now. Its not an eel just an ancient species of fish.

[jcvideos11]

Put some substrate in that tank!

[bmxrat1]

omg u have a dinosaur u should probably give that to a museum u should be famous.

incase u didnt realize i was bein sarcastic....

[AsianDragonKid]

thats not a dragon fish thast a birchir.

[kana3]

I'd not seen any previously (nor since actually!) so I just went by the texta description written there, on the tank. 4 Ringgets isn't bad, that's about AU$2. Oh - and I've updated the Tags...

[Talfs]

Those are actually Albino Dinosaur Eels not Dragon fish. Though similar they are way cuter then actual Dragon fish and are strangely not related to eels at all ^.^ I've seen the typical brown variety available at Wal-Mart but never an albino one they're neat little fish :3

[chrisdef15]

No there actually senegal bichirs. if ya gonna tell ppl names atleast know the right ones not just some other version of LFS names that are just made up by whoever has the texta that day.

[Talfs]

Ok well sorry I didn't know the proper name. At any rate if one would ever see these at a store they would probably be labeled under Dinosaur Eel not Bichirs. And honestly you could've corrected me a hell of allot kinder instead of biting my head off and looking like a total asshole.

[jeffthefishdotcom]

The only stores that call them dinosaur eels are places you shouldn't buy fish from anyway, like Wal-Mart or Petco.

[Talfs]

Depends on what your looking for, if your like me who looks for the fish with odditys its the perfect place to shop.

[jeffthefishdotcom]

If you say so.

[nicklinkzelda]

I've seen these sell as "Dinosaur Fish" in my local Walmart lately. Definitely interesting fish being they are supposed to be in some prehistoric vein of bichir.

[vanomxxx]

iom getting 1 on friday YAY ;P

[dyereve01]

haha, yeah. i have both an arowana and a Nigerian birchir. both are pretty sweet.

[dyereve01]

those aren't dragon fish. a freshwater dragon fish is called an arowana. those look more like nigerian senegalus also known as a nigerian birchir.

[mantanona]

nice fish got one myself
