Good info in that thread. ^^^ Let us know if you have any questions.

What else are you feeding him other than shrimp and bloodworms? What type of polypterus is it, and how big?

 

[Endlicherilover]

He is an polypterus endlicheri and i just bought some Frozen fish for him. The broblems he had desappeared with just a big fart. Im so glad that it was nothing serious...

Do you guys feed living insects or fish for polypterus?

Pellets, tilapia e-worms, and shrimp.
