Seal your Polypterus tanks like Fort Knox

[thor meeki]

do they do this @ all ages ?

mine is aprox 4inches

will he try this

or just the big ones

does tank size matter

they're mostly bottom dwellers but if there are other bottom dwellers that are trying to threaten the polyps, or if there is significant competition for food, then the polyps will swim and hover at the top.

I place bags of gravel on the lids and plug holes with spongy material or filter pads, then put rocks on that as well. I lost a massive teugelsi to a poor cover....live and learn.

man that sucks. i haven't lost any but i did find my little albino sen in the filter the other day after a frantic search. it was just looking up at me like " do you need something?" really have no idea how it got there but oh well.
