Sorry bout the typos and the weird ph /hardness entries, the site really freaked when I tried to enter the correct data and it went weird. I will correct it if it gets through. Im not really that precise on ph readings, lol

Approve, though it should be noted that this species has been bred into an albino form that isn't all too rare (at least around here).

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Agreed, although these breedings are usually done commercially in larger aquaria than most people can afford to have. I can adjust the profile to reflect that later. The trouble is for successful courtship in polypterus you generally need something in the order of a 300 gallon plus tank and that is beyond most hobbyists. Polypterus are both common in wild caught and captive bred forms, but "home " breedings are unusual. Breeding polypterus isnt that difficult in a large commercial setting, and I have seen a few specimens touted to be "high greens" and "emeralds" , but to be honest, aside from the albino form, these are well within the limits of natural variability for this species. Ill make sure the albino captive bred form gets a mention in the variants section when I do the corrections.

Thanks for pointing it out nat, I should have mentioned it.
