Platinum Senegal Bichir Polypterus Senegalus 10cmOverview: The Platinum Senegal Bichir is a captivating and unique freshwater fish, known for its prehistoric appearance and shimmering platinum coloration. These nocturnal predators are characterized by their elongated bodies, dorsal finlets, and the ability to breathe atmospheric air due to a specialized swim bladder. They make a striking addition to any large aquarium setup.
Origin: Native to the rivers and freshwater bodies across Africa, the Platinum variant is selectively bred for its stunning color. Wild ancestors of this variety are adept at navigating both water and marginal land areas in search of food.
Feeding: Carnivorous by nature, Platinum Senegal Bichirs thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer a variety of foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, small fish, and quality pellet foods designed for carnivorous species. Frequent feedings in smaller amounts are recommended to mimic natural feeding habits.
Tank Mates: Due to their predatory nature, choose tank mates carefully. Ideal companions include larger fish species that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid housing with very small or docile fish. Compatible tank mates can include certain cichlids, larger tetras, and catfish that share similar water parameter requirements.
Aggression: Generally peaceful towards fish of a similar size but can exhibit predatory behavior towards smaller tank mates. It's crucial to monitor interactions in a community tank to ensure the safety and well-being of all inhabitants.
Experience Level: Intermediate to Advanced. While not overly demanding, their care requires an understanding of their specific needs, including tank size, diet, and water quality management.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C)
- pH: 6.5-7.5
- Hardness: 5-20 dGH
Add a touch of prehistoric elegance to your aquarium with the Platinum Senegal Bichir – a true living fossil that will captivate and intrigue with its ancient lineage and striking appearance.

Durable
Color: Hammer, Size: 7 Inch
Even my monster hasn't been able to chew through these in a few months, and he has destroyed one of the black Kongs in the same time frame.

Tough to destroy for aggressive chewers
Color: Wrench, Size: 8 Inch
My doggie chewed out stairscase, the sofa, my shoes, and would destroy anything labeled pet “tough” toys. This stopped her from destroying!! Soo cool and cleans her teeth too. I got this one as gift for other retriever fams! Super cool. Doesn’t smell bad and its lightweight but durable like crazy.

Great Toy for Chewers!
Color: Hammer, Size: 7 Inch
This is one of my dog’s favorite toys! He will chew on it for hours. It is durable and takes him a while to make it indistinguishable as a hammer. No smell to it. The rubber bits do come off so I have to check it and make sure he doesn’t eat them.
