Albino Long Fin Senegal Bichir Polypterus Senegalensis Senegalus 10cm

The Albino Long Fin Senegal Bichir is a captivating and unique addition to any freshwater aquarium. This rare albino variant boasts elongated, flowing fins that add a touch of elegance to its prehistoric appearance. Adaptable and hardy, the Senegal Bichir is known for its snake-like body and fascinating behavior.

Origin

Native to the rivers and floodplains of Africa, the Senegal Bichir is accustomed to diverse environments. This species has evolved to thrive in varying water conditions, making it a resilient choice for aquariums.

Feeding

Carnivorous by nature, the Albino Long Fin Senegal Bichir requires a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer a variety of live, frozen, or freeze-dried foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small fish. Consistent feeding of a balanced diet will ensure your Bichir’s health and vitality.

Tank Mates

Choosing the right tank mates is crucial for a harmonious aquarium. Compatible with similarly sized and temperament fish, avoid housing with small species that could be considered prey. Good companions include larger tetras, robust barbs, and medium-sized catfish.

Aggression

The Senegal Bichir is generally peaceful towards fish of similar size but can exhibit predatory behavior towards smaller tank mates. Monitoring interactions and providing ample hiding spaces can mitigate potential issues.

Experience Level

Suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists, this species requires some knowledge of care and tank management. Understanding the specific needs and behavior of the Senegal Bichir will ensure a thriving environment.

Regular water changes and a well-maintained filter will keep your Bichir healthy and reduce stress, contributing to a longer lifespan.
