polypterus

This time he is pooping stringy white stuff. He's still eating voraciously, but he isn't as active as he was. He's also probably stressed because my other senegal has been bullying him a bit. Considering separating the two. Water parameters are fine, temp is 78, all other fish are okay. I saw...

Setting up my 100 gallon w/ 30 gal sump next week. I have black sand and manzanita wood (tannins are gonna suck) for in the tank and then seachem matrix, filter floss, and seachem stability for getting my sump started. It has three chambers that flow into each other through the bottom of the...

Hey, guys! You've all had such helpful advice, I thought I would ask this instead of trying to google it. I currently have 1 albino sen, 2 sen, and 1 del in a 40 gallon grow out tank. They are getting pretty big now, and I am setting up the 100 gallon. I want to get at least one more bichir...

This is Sigurd and he loves his "trees"

Hi guyz!! Can someone please help me ID my Endlicheri? Is it CB or WC? Size is around 17 inches Currently in a temporary grow-out tank.

Hey, I generally had an endlich but now I have a group of polypterus that I really like them. I will update their video/photo that I can do; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YM7rSRKxsc0iRz43jZGC7MJGQ3IMfnt7/view?usp=drivesdk or (low quality) 28 cm endlich is with me for almost 6 months...

I just need you guys to see how fat this dude has gotten in less than a month...

Hey guys, I've posted about my Delhezi being standoffish before and the problem was slightly alleviated when I added more bichirs to the tank (she was just housed with the albino senegal before, now there are two additional senegals, both smaller than her), but now she seems back to sulking. She...

Let me know what you think!! :)

Yeah, it's dumb, but a nerd gotta nerd.

My LFS had "$5 for the crooked one" written on their Bichir tank, and when I looked I saw this little guy in there just living his life. He was actually the most active one... so basically my heart melted and I brought him home. He gets along fine with my other bichirs, has a healthy appetite...

Hi all I'm new to the forum and wanted to ask you guys what your stocking suggestion for the following idea is: I'd like to have some leopard bushfish (5/6) with some bichirs. In particular, the bichirs I thought would work in a 90g are the senegals and the delhezi. Does that work and if so...

Guyz, This is my Endlicheri pair. one is 12 inches and the other is around 14 inches. What are your opinions on my fish? :D Link -

One of my polypterus endlicheri fish fallen down in tank and trying to take breath so hard... and he fallen upside down in the bottom of the tank. What should i do?

Hey guys! I bought 2 18~20cm delhezi polys to go w/ my blood parrot pair, and so far, they're doing great. I've noticed a patch of weird looking things that look like sand. I'm guessing that its actually sand stuck to their slime coat? (i'll upload a picture later on) I just want some answers...

Looking for an ID for this poly of mine. I have my thoughts but am more interested in everyone else's take. I got it from an LFS at 3" about a years ago. Sold as an endli. Its about 12-13" now. Thanks!

Currently Both eyes look like there’s an X threw the iris. Most of my group has this. Usually their eyes are crisp and dark. Never seen it before this week. What is this? Veins? Cloudy eyes? Eye structure? Light too bright? Something else? You’ll have to zoom in to see the one on the...

Here in the UK I’m having a hard time finding tilapia fillets. I can buy whole black tilapia in a local oriental supermarket but it’s not ideal. However whilst I was there I saw a few different species that people will recognise. My question is do people prefer to feed freshwater species of...
