Bichir & Rope Fish 
For Freshwater Aquariums

Bichir and Ropefish (Polypteridae) are living fossils—ancient, air-breathing fish known for their armored bodies, powerful pectoral fins, and ability to glide along the substrate. Their prehistoric look and calm behavior make them a prized choice among oddball and predator fish keepers. At Fisheee Aquarium Store Phuket Thailand, we specialize in healthy, well-acclimated specimens ready for freshwater predator tanks. #FishShopPhuketThailand

Our Bichir & Ropefish Collection

Top choices include the Senegal Bichir (Polypterus senegalus), a hardy, peaceful species; Delhezi Bichir (Polypterus delhezi), featuring striking banded markings; Ornate Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis), a large, brilliantly patterned species; and the Ropefish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus), known for its eel-like body and peaceful nature. Each fish is carefully quarantined and trained to accept pellets, shrimp, and meaty diets.
