Heya Beachy! Hows that Delhezi going? I've got mine a senegal chum, but have to wait till its much bigger before having them in the same tank.

Polypterus senegal have been bred regularly in home aquaria, but the young are highly cannibalistic and may need to be seperated in accordance with their size. I have a polypterus delhezi going on 21cm, and a small senegal I purchased last week. Once I can establish the gender of the senegal I intend to get it a mate. If you want an attractive bichir, go with the delhezi They start off rather unremarkable, but do turn into interesting and well marked beasts. If you want one with more character that you might possibly breed, go with the senegal (which is slightly cheaper). Get an ornate if you can, or better yet, tell ME its available and I'll get it . Ornates are generally considered the most beautiful of the family, and also get a bit larger.
