- Thread starter Coler
- Start date
unfortunately these were the best I have gotten so far.
Ignore previous descriptions of fins I was somewhat wrong. they are :
caudal fin, anal fin, dorsal triangular fin closer to tail than head, ventral fin slightly in front (closer to head) of dorsal fin, two pelvic fins (thoracic).
eyes and mouth are on top of head. head is higher set than eyes. two nodules, bichir like on nose.
behaviour highly nocturnal, sometimes rests motionless/stationary on substrate with upper third of body suspended in the water.
