Polypterus Ornatipinnus

So a 55 then?

a standard 55 is 13" wide I think

here's a list. it comes from anne's polypterid primer.
for the bigger species
120 Gallon 48x24x24
125 Gallon 72x18x22
150 Gallon 72x18x28
180 Gallon 72x24x24
The above are fairly standard sized tanks and should be available thru your local stores

If tank size is an issue, there are other bichirs out there that won't get to be as big as the ornate.

So a 55 then?

A 55 breeder or a standard 75 is more like it. Also the ornats that size would probably go for that much or even a little more around here.

I think I'll skip it. I need to set up a 55 for my loaches.
