I personally had 2 females grow to about 17 inches . They were put in a 180 gallon at around 10 inches. I've read and heard that a few got to 24 inches.
They died a few years ago. A pic of one when she was younger not a full shot.
Sorry about that, I meant to say can you easily sex them, not see them.
Out of all Polypterus I have kept the Ornate was hard for me to sex . https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/...ing-information-post-your-experiences.684419/
It's anal fin size and shape. Unfortunately males dont develope the broader fin until sexually mature and it varies from poly to poly when that is. Once it has developed it's pretty easy to tell.
Pic of my ropefish- I think they are from the bichir family, right?
Part of the Polypterus family for sure. Nice pic of the Ropefish.
Got him/her Saturday a bit over 2 1/2 inches.
