Polypterus lapladii
[1 fish] ¥1,780 (excluding tax
) ¥1,958 (
including tax) This popular species is characterized by its slender, flowing body and striped pattern on its side. Its silhouette is slimmer than that of the Endrickerii, and the combination of bands and a mesh-like pattern gives it a uniquely wild look. The way it swims along the bottom and the impressive appearance when it raises its dorsal fin are unique charms of Polypterus. It is
hardy and highly adaptable to its environment, and it easily adapts to artificial and frozen food. Because it is carnivorous, avoid keeping it with fish that can fit in its mouth. Its body length increases as it grows, so a spacious tank is necessary in the future. A lid is essential to prevent it from jumping.
■ Maximum size: Approximately 60cm
■ Water temperature: 24-28°C
■ Water quality: Weakly acidic to neutral
■ Personality: Relatively gentle, but carnivorous, it preys on small fish.
