Description
Polypterus weeksii, the Mottled Bichir, is a mid to large sized bichir from the Congo River. Reaching about 20", these are one of the most heavyset bichir species. Like other bichirs they are peaceful with fish that are too large to eat, but will certainly go after bite-sized tankmates.
These are individuals around 4-5" long.
