The Tiger Bichir (Polypterus endlicheri) is a robust and visually striking species known for its bold, tiger-like patterning. This predatory fish thrives in large, well-oxygenated aquariums with ample hiding places and subdued lighting to replicate its natural environment. Its carnivorous diet demands high-protein foods, and its nocturnal behavior requires careful feeding routines. Ideal for advanced aquarists, the Tiger Bichir adds both dynamic movement and a prehistoric aesthetic to specialized freshwater collections.
