Royal Delhezi Bichir

The Royal Delhezi Bichir is a beautiful and highly sought-after variety, characterized by its distinctive, spotted pattern and elongated body. With its royal-looking appearance, this species features dark, almost olive-coloured markings, and it can grow quite large, making it an impressive addition to any aquarium. Royal Delhezi Bichirs are hardy and peaceful, but they require a spacious tank with plenty of hiding places, as they are nocturnal and enjoy exploring at night. They thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water and prefer well-filtered tanks with a soft substrate.
