Polypterus endlicheri

The Polypterus endlicheri is a fascinating species with a prehistoric appearance, owing to its elongated body and row of dorsal finlets. It is a predatory fish and prefers a varied diet of protein-rich foods, such as shrimp, small fish, and worms. Due to its large size and predatory nature, it should generally be kept with other large, robust tank mates. Secure tank covers are essential, as they have a propensity to escape.
