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.
The biggest moke I saw was in Japan, it was 14". The owner got it at 7". The secret of making them them grow fast and making them grow above average growth in captivity is by feeding them with weather loaches. I've even tried it myself. I was able to grow my albino sene to 11", which were my previous albino senes before, only max out at 9". Something about the weather loaches that make bichirs and other predatory fishes grow fast and bigger than average captivity size.
Possibly also the rarest species of Polypterus...

It's an elongated cold water fish.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus search them in google and you'll find out.
