The Ornate Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis), native to the Congo River Basin in Africa, is admired for its striking black and yellow pattern and dinosaur-like appearance. This nocturnal, bottom-dwelling predator requires a spacious aquarium (minimum 90 gallons) with a secure lid, as it can escape and breathe air. Provide a soft substrate, hiding spots, and low to moderate lighting. Keep water warm (75-82°F) with good filtration. Feed a carnivorous diet of sinking pellets, fish, shrimp, and worms
