GeneralActivity levels
From Most active to Least active:
These tend to be more active during ''lights on''periods and all are about the same activity level however
a list is a list and needs a starting point
P. senegalus
P. palmas polli
P. delhezi
P. palmas palmas
P. palmas buettikoferi
P. retropinnis
These tend to be more active during''lights off'' period
P. e. congicus
P. e. endlicheri
P. Zaire green
P. weeksii
P. lapradei
P. ornatipinnis
there are exceptions as each does tend to have their own''personality''

i think,
P. Zaire green=P. retropinnis
"P. retropinnis"=Polypterus mokelembembe ="below picture"

Hey Anne quick question, you said that Retropinnis bichirs are more active during the day and Zaire Green are more active during the night, aren't they the same? I always thought that they were always known as Polypterus Retropinnis (aka Zaire Green)? Have I been mistaken?

Here's mine

The list that Anne gave is outdated. P.retropinnis used to be old name for p.mokelembembe and that is what it is referring to on the list.

ive heard that congicus are not active at all.
but ive never kept them.
of the lower jaws ive kept,endlis are the most active.
ive never kept the bigger upper jaws or other lowr jaws except endlis and laps.
