The Senegal Bichir (Polypterus senegalus) is a formidable predator known for its aggressive behavior, especially towards conspecifics. It thrives on a diet of meaty foods including earthworms, shrimp, bloodworms, mussels, and fish fillets like silversides. Feeding once daily is sufficient to meet its nutritional needs. This species requires a well-structured aquarium with ample space and hiding spots to accommodate its territorial nature, making it best suited for experienced aquarists managing predatory freshwater species.
