Kamil: Olympus E-20P, 36mm, 1/125s, F9, ISO 320.
Chuck: It`s Ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis). Very impressive predatory from Congo river.
Dear moderators please feel free to remove non caudate photos from this thread.
Dear moderators, please don't remove these photos, they are fantastic, most of us have an interest in other aspects of natural history so it is quite nice to see the odd pic!!!
Dear Juraj, once again excellent work, i shall be coming to visit for a photography lesson lol
I used to keep several kinds of Polypterus when I still lived in Malaysia. I love the way they gulp air with their simple long. Something about bichirs which I always loved is their primitive look. Thanks for the Bichir picture.
How old are your C.e.ensicauda? My C.e.popei look almost about the same size as yours, judging from the photogaphs.
Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
sorry I am having a hard time trying to upload the pictures- I have them saved on my hard drive... any suggestions-the prompts here are not allowing for downloads that way as far as I can tell. Thanks
