Water Conditions
The Albino Senegalus Bichir, also known as Polypterus senegalus albino, is a fascinating and unique freshwater fish that belongs to the family Polypteridae. Here are some key details about this species:
General Information:
- Scientific Name: Polypterus senegalus albino
- Common Name: Albino Senegalus Bichir
- Size: At 6-7 cm, this bichir is still a juvenile. Adult bichirs can grow up to about 30-35 cm (12-14 inches) in length.
- Lifespan: They can live up to 15-20 years with proper care.
Appearance:
- Coloration: As an albino variant, this bichir has a pale, almost white body with red or pink eyes due to the lack of pigmentation.
- Body Shape: They have an elongated, cylindrical body with a series of dorsal finlets and pectoral fins that give them a prehistoric appearance.
Habitat and Tank Requirements:
- Tank Size: A minimum of 200 liters (about 50 gallons) is recommended for an adult, but as juveniles, they can be kept in smaller tanks with plans to upgrade.
- Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
- pH: 6.0-8.0
- Hardness: Soft to moderately hard
- Tank Setup: They prefer a tank with plenty of hiding spots, such as caves, driftwood, and dense vegetation. The substrate can be sand or fine gravel.
- Filtration: Good filtration is essential as bichirs can be messy eaters. They also require a lid or cover on the tank because they are known to jump.
Diet:
- Diet: Carnivorous. They can be fed a variety of live, frozen, or prepared foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, small fish, and sinking carnivore pellets.
- Feeding Frequency: Young bichirs should be fed daily, while adults can be fed every other day.
Behavior and Compatibility:
- Behavior: Generally peaceful, but they can be predatory towards smaller fish that fit into their mouths. They are more active during the night (nocturnal).
- Compatibility: Best kept with similarly sized, non-aggressive tank mates. Avoid housing them with very small fish or invertebrates.
Care Level:
- Care Level: Moderate. They require specific water parameters and a well-maintained environment to thrive.
