Description
Senegalus polypterus is one of the smaller dragon fish, only reaching a size of 14 inches, and does not get as thick as other types.
Bichirs are a predatory fish and in the aquarium if not fed well, they will take any live or dead animal that can be swallowed or broken apart and then swallowed. Only its lack of speed prevents a bichir from emptying an aquarium of smaller fish.
