I just bought two baby polypterus. Theyre both about 3" long. One is a beautiful endlicheri which still has external gills and was sold to me for a higher price than the other. The other, Im not so sure. Both were in a same tank full of endlicheris in the lfs. I bought the other because it looked like an ornate and was very cheap. When I got home and had a good look at it, it didn't match any of the descriptions on any of the polypterus species. I need help identifying it. I couldnt get better pictures because it just keeps hiding or swimming.:confused::confused:

Could I also get more info on Delhezis? How big will they grow and their behavior. Thanks again!

Check out the stickies in the polypterus section. They are very informative and have answered most of the questions I've ever had about these guys. And no. A pleco is not a good tank mate for any poly. They tend to suck the slime coat off their scales.
