- Thread starter andy1985
- Start date
known in the hobby as P. retropinnis (with broad saddle markings) - which are now designated as the new P. mokelembembe.
A few yaers back the international taxonomic commitee renamed the species known as P.retropinnis to P.mokelembe and renamed what was known as zaire green to P.retropinnis-Anne
And yes it was very exciting or confusing depending on your point of view lol

Right information, wrong picture
Notice the lack of 'broad saddle markings' on the polypterus in the picture, it's a retropinnis.
To andy1985,
mokelembembe (or 'mokes' as you'll see them referred to by some poly peeps) are likely the smallest species of polypterus, none being recorded past 10"
From mine and others' experience, they grow slow, but are otherwise easy to keep, same with all polypterus.
