My own Polypterids...
This is a list of the Polypterid fishes currently in my own collection, which has been steadily built up over several years.
There are still several I want to acquire, so I am always on the lookout for good specimens, particularly of the ones which
are hard to find here in the UK - P. retropinnis for example, or the elusive P. ansorgii.
