Polypterus are considered ‘living fossils’ (prehistoric creatures that have remained unchanged), and a bridge between fish and amphibians (an intermediary step towards growing limbs). Saddled Bichir is a nocturnal predator, and should not be kept with smaller fish. It needs a lot of floor space as well as a very secure tight-fitted lid. Soft (sandy) substrate, driftwood and rocky hiding places are also recommended. It is a very hardy fish that is best kept with other ‘peaceful predators’ like Polypterus, Datnoids, Synodontis, Knife fish, Arowanas etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Absolutely Naturals","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":67687952974190,"sku":"zai1791355992558","price":57.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\"","offer_id":67687953006958,"sku":"jre1791355992559","price":100.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\"","offer_id":67687953039726,"sku":"ptm1791355992560","price":97.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3902\/1934\/files\/polypterus-endlicherii-bichir_1.jpg?v=1791355997","url":"https:\/\/www.peonycorner.shop\/products\/polypterus-endlicherii-bichir","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
