The Senegal, or Common Bichir is the most widespread species of Polypterus in Africa, inhabiting shallow waters across a huge geographic area. This species is also the most common in the aquarium hobby and has been commercially bred in Asia for years. Wild specimens from the remote Lake Turkana in Kenya are incredibly rare and sought after in the hobby, and are known for reaching a much larger adult size than any other population of P. senegalus.

A medium sized member of the so-called “upper jaw” complex of Polypterus, the Delhezi or Armored Bichir is found throughout much of the Congo River Basin in Central Africa. With their heavy body, prehistoric appearance, and striking banded pattern, this species is popular in the hobby and is now being bred commercially in Southeast Asia. Like most Bichir species, they are hardy and undemanding like but should be kept with a tight-fitting and possibly weighted lid as they will attempt to jump if spooked or at night
Note on Origin: Small and Medium sized Delhezi Bichirs in most cases are aquacultured in Asia while larger sizes are wild collected from Central Africa.
