Polypterus Endlicheri 11 to 13 in wild caught

The body is long and about as profound as it is wide. A serrated dorsal balance keeps running along the majority of the body until it meets the caudal blade. The pectoral blades append simply behind and underneath the gill openings and are the essential methods for headway, giving a moderate, smooth appearance. The example of the fish comprises of sporadic vertical groups along the flanks of the fish, that don’t broaden totally onto the ventral surface. They are regularly a whitish-yellow shading, however are accessible in a pale skinned person and platinum shading transform. In the wild shading transform dark spots are seen close by the head, body and caudal blade. This is ‘lower jaw’ polypterus, and subsequently has a conspicuous lower jaw longer than the upper jaw.

The head is little and reptile like with a huge expanding mouth and little eyes on either side. Since its visual perception is poor the bichir basically chases by smell. Outside nostrils jut from the nose of the fish to empower this.

The fish has a couple of crude lungs rather than a dip bladder, enabling it to intermittently swallow air from the outside of the water. In the aquarium bichirs can be watched dashing to the surface for this reason. Given the skin stays soggy, the animal can stay out of the water for close to inconclusive timeframes
