Polypterus lapradei

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey,
I decided to dedicate some more tanks to bichirs not just one 6.5ft aquarium.
And it pretty much got out of hand.
I am currently keeping:
9 Polypterus delhezi CB
2 Polypterus ornatipinnis CB
1 Polypterus bichir lapradei Nigeria WC
1 Polypterus bichir lapradei Koliba CB
1 Polypterus teugelsi CB
And I guess I'll grab every bichir I am able to get except for the species that grow over 2ft.

Congratulations mate. Don't be afraid of species that grow to 2 ft. If you did manage to grow them to that size, it will take you years. With the tank size, you can get away with whatever tickles your fancy; just keep in mind the mouth to fish size ratio if keeping smaller specimens.
