Polypterus ornatipinnis, approximately 12cm
[1 fish] ¥7,980 (excluding tax),
¥8,778 (

). Known as the "king of polyps," the highly popular Ornatipinnis
is a truly exceptionally beautiful Polypterus, with a fine black mesh pattern on a yellow-cream background.

This species is particularly attractive for its head pattern and the dorsal fin edging, which retain their pattern even as it grows, making it a long-lasting treasure.
Combining a wild yet luxurious appearance, this is a dream pet for any polyp enthusiast. While

generally gentle, as is typical of polyps, it will prey on fish large enough to fit in its mouth, so care should be taken when keeping it with other fish.
It easily adapts to sinking artificial feed, making it a relatively easy species to raise.

■ Maximum size: Approximately 50-60cm
■ Water temperature: 25-28°C
■ Water quality: Slightly acidic to neutral
■ Personality: Gentle but carnivorous (it will prey on fish that fit in its mouth)
