Delhezi Polypterus Bichir

The Delhezi or Armored Bichir is a medium-sized member of the "upper jaw" complex of Polypterus. It can be found throughout much of the Congo River Basin in Central Africa. This species is highly recognizable due to its heavy body, prehistoric appearance, and striking banded pattern. It has gained popularity among aquarium enthusiasts and is now commercially bred in Southeast Asia.

Similar to other Bichir species, Delhezi Bichirs are known for their hardiness and undemanding nature, making them suitable for a wide range of aquarists. However, it is crucial to keep them in an aquarium with a secure and tightly-fitting lid, possibly weighted, as they have a tendency to jump if startled or during nighttime activity.

It is important to note that while smaller and medium-sized Delhezi Bichirs are mostly aquacultured in Asia, larger specimens are typically wild-collected from Central Africa.

The Delhezi or Armored Bichir's unique appearance and fascinating behavior make it a captivating addition to aquariums, providing an intriguing glimpse into the ancient world of fish species.
