Description
Polypterus bichirs lapradei is one of the larger dragon fish, reaching a size of 27+” inches, and becomes fairly thick.
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.
