This farm raised albino form has the basic albino white body with red eyes, with perhaps a few black specks. The Polypterus is a true predator, eating small fish and insects in the wild. It will adapt to meaty foods like Krill and Bloodworms, but should not be kept with anything small enough to fit in its mouth. Sometimes quarrelsome among themselves, most are kept singly in the home aquarium. They prefer to lay in wait for food in dense vegetation or among rocks, rarely moving to far from their lair. The aquarium should have a good cover as they do sometimes attempt to jump out
