Polypterus delhezi, known for its prehistoric appearance, should be kept in a spacious aquarium due to its potential size and active nature. The tank should provide plenty of hiding spaces using rocks, driftwood, and plants. It's a nocturnal predator that enjoys a varied diet rich in protein. Compatible tankmates include other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish.
