Hi everybody,
Thank you very much for running this site, you have no idea how many
times you have helped me! I just wanted to follow up on an FAQ labeled

Bichir and I now have two more, all of them healthy thanks to you guys
and gals. Thanks again -Tom

Senegal Bichirs/s
Hi there my name is Jason from Auckland, New Zealand, the other day I bought
a couple of Senegal Bichirs and I was wondering if there is any way of telling
if they are short body Senegal or normal ones, they are about 4inch.
<Mmm, I am not aware that there is any more than just the one species:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebIndex/polypterids.htm>
The pet shop that I bought them from told me that they were lung fish but after
searching the web for these fish I found that they are Bichirs not lung fish,
and that there are short and long body types. Are you guys able to help? Cheers.
<Please see the above link, and read about the family on Fishbase.org
