Right now I only have a sengal and Ornate. The senegal is very active while the ornate hides most of the time. Which seems like typical behavior for each. Are any of the other species more active and less shy.. Mainly I want to know if delhezi or endli are active and closer to the senegal in behavior than the ornate. I know it depends on the fish etc.. but the typical.. Thanks..
 
Activity wise top 3 active are
P.senegalus
P.p.polli
P.delhezi


P.ornatipinnis in general are more nocturnal-Anne
 
My senegals run around like they are on crack all day...and night.
 
Same here I have two senegal bichirs at about 4 inches and they are about the most active fish I have.
 
get a patterned delz they look good....an endi isnt bad isnt but it is usually more aggressive and grows larger than the other species
 
Actually I love delhezis and think they are one of if not the most attractive of the polypterids just my opinion -Anne
 
ive got palmas, senegalis , ornate, and lapradie. Sene and palmas most active then lapradie then my ornate.
