Which Species of Polypterus are Captive Bred?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You should be able to frequently find polys that side of the world. Your footprint is perfect, I keep two senegals in a 120x45cm tank :)
 
CB Senegal & Delhezi should be easy to find.

Here in the US you can find CB Pollis, but for all of the other UJs, they're more challenging/impossible to find CB outside of Ornates and Teugelsi, both of which grow too big for your tank.

Senegals, Dels and Polli are perfect for your size tank!
 
All polys are captive bred except weeksii, retros, and mokelembe. Eventually it will be but I believe these are the only ones lefttbatbare wild.

I don't think everything else is captive bred on a market scale?

P. Palmas sub-species are commonly sold, beuttikoferi and palmas polli are available mostly all year round, but that depends on the lfs stocks or supplier. The only challenge is the palmas palmas.


I found a Palmas Palmas quick like. Palmas Polli is all I am missing from my upper jaw collection.
