Bichirs are the best fish I’ve ever owned.

I'm re-watching this for maybe the 10th time. It's amazing how much info you packed in here!

this was 110% high-octane bichir action and i loved learning about it - thank you for your video!!!!!!

Quality filming with professional high res equipment, informative content, 15k subs, phone videos of cats reacting to farts, million subs. Humanity for the fail. Good videos.

fantastic narration, camera work, and cinematography! Keep up the great work

Welcome to what's on my recommended today...

Your camera work is astonishing, I especially loved the shots of the bichir taking a breath at the surface. I also like how your videos focus a lot on the biology of these creatures rather than just the basic care requirements. Keep up the good work!

I could sit and watch this for hours. Your voice is so soothing, and the polypterus so beautiful

First video of yours I’ve seen and I enjoyed it immensely. So glad this was recommended to me because I could see this channel becoming one of my favorites. Don’t listen to all the comments about your voice. The commentary is just fine and I greatly prefer it over your videos without sound. Keep making videos, you’re doing a fantastic job!

Such an excellent video. I love that you took time to highlight anatomical and physiological specialties and adaptations in the bichir. The quality of the footage, of course, is also above par and gorgeous. I love that you mentioned the "death-roll" as well. Which I have not heard mention in my research of these Delhezi and Erpetoichthys calabaricus. I purchased two ropefish just over a month ago and recently heard them clacking a snail around in their tank one evening. I rose to look and saw just this: a snail had appeared dead earlier that day. I left it in the tank just to make sure it wasn't "sleeping" as they often do, half exposed. But evidently it gave off the proper chemical signature for the "rope-sters" as one had pinched the snails body into his mouth and was spinning vigorously about the tank, smacking the snail's shell against glass and rock and driftwood as it attempted to dislodge the body with centrifugal force and brute tactics. It was quite impressive even displayed by my juvenile ropefish.

this was absolutely beautiful. I applaud you, your efforts, and your delhezi. thank you for this great content.

One of the most great video from your channel. Absolutely love it. Thanks for bring them out to us.

Amazing work as always

Your vids keep me captivated & your voice is calm, makes it a pleasure to learn. Thank you ☺️

Some of the most impressive videos on the internet. The things you capture are National Geographic quality. The information is in-depth. You’re my favorite youtuber. I appreciate the time and effort. Wow.

This is a beautiful video. Thank you for how thorough you have been here!

You deserve more subs man, really like how you narrating, and editing those footage into an educational reference

this is the best bicher video on youtube and also the best video ive watched on here in awhile subscribed~ keep the awesome videos coming ❤

Great to see you back The Dave. Another inspiring video. Those thing are mean. I love the tank too.

Amazing! I love the high quality footage and content that goes into your videos, and you've quickly become my go to reference point.

Once again, informative, concise, and to the point, best video on yt concerning these fish, thanks dave 👌🏻

I'm very happy I found this channel. I love the videos they are really well done and informative. Keep up the great work.

This is really great. It helped me study and know more about the Polypterus (and in a really visual and beautiful way at that, it will sure be remembered). Thank you! Will be looking forward to more videos.

Love your videos! Beautiful, informative, and comforting; thank you not adding annoying, unnecessary music.

Well done! I’ve been keeping bichirs for years and have never come across this video before. But boy am I glad I found it. Not often you kind someone with your knowledge of these fish. You’re awesome bro 👍

This is the best video Ive seen about the polypterus. I have two, One is a delhezi and my other is an albino senegalus. Both are about nine inches. Ive had them for about a year and never knew the spiracles were actually a separate hole from the operculum. keep em coming

The quality of your work is outstanding, The Dave!

Great piece of work. I don't get tired of rewatching it. Keep on!

Spectactular footage as usual. You capture some of the best close-up video I've seen. Your video on the Golden Wonder Killifish directly lead to the group I'm keeping now. After watching this I'm feeling similarly about these Bichirs. Glad to hear some narration too, you've done an excellent job.

100% got my sub. Love the footage. Love the info. Gorgeous polypterus.

What an Incredible job filming and the narrative was amazing. I just got my fist polypterus a week ago and needed to know a couple things. Thank you so much.

This is the most informative and professionally presented video I came across for this species. Thank you very much for your sharing.

I learned many things from this video that I didn’t know beforehand even by having a bichir myself. Thank you

Beautiful video.......amazing fish

A wonderful documentary - thank you!

Glad you’re back The Dave !!! I love so much your videos. It really looks like a prehistoric fish . It’s kind of fascinating to me.. 😮😮

This is so cool, really an awesome introduction to this fish. I didnt even know this fish existed.

Informative and entertaining video. Also it's very nice to have your voice added!

Man, I've been waiting for you to make a video for awhile! Awsome video!

this is an amazing video/documentary, keep up the good work! 🙏🏻

The Dave, thank you for doing this species. I have been wanting to know more about them. Great information thank you!

Of all the fish you have, this one is my favorite.

Awesome video , thank you!

Loved the narration. :3 Keep up the great work

This video was amazing. Gave us so many chances to see the animal doing what your talking about was superb

high quality and relaxing to watch :)

Another wonderful video, it's so great to see somebody that puts such a large amount of love and care in creating the perfect environment for their fish, the research done is top quality and the cinematography isn't to shabby to say the least

Amazing video ! Love it ! Really great job ! Well done mate !

Now this is a youtube channel

This was a well done video, actually learned something interesting.

Love this video and the narration.

That fish is A MONSTER. This is probably the best 15 minutes I've ever spent on youtube. He looks like such a messy eater and probably wreaks havoc on that tank. How often do you have to readjust your hardscape, or do you just let him do what he wants with it? The fish is awesome and I learned a lot about something I didn't even know existed. Subbed!

Great work. Also, you're the only other person I've run across to feature the detritus worms (and so much better than me!) Until your video I was unsure wether they were insect larvae or something else. Thanks!

I just bought one yesterday an (albino) 3.5 inches. thank you for this very informative video! I'm so happy and excited ❤

Just fascinating! Well done!

Another AWESOME KZfaq video! You make learning FUN👍🏽😁

Cool fish

Soothing voice😍

Thank you for this wonderful video and also for all the other ones. Very educational and beautifull contents.

Incredible! Beautiful!

really cool footage and info. i these guys are such an odd ball but i love it!

Nice informational video ! The breaking of this fish got me interested as hell. Keep em going

Yay! Narrated. Thank you. Love your voice. Keep it up

What a gorgeous, happy fish. Thanks for sharing!

Ok... This is possibly my new favourite fish species

What a beautiful specimen

Quality of the videos are amazing!!!!

Excellent footage, excellent narration, and excellent fish! I didn’t know what a polypterus was until now, but it’s easily one of my new favorites!

Looks like the first fish that came on to land

That's one amazing fish. Thanks!

Great job! The are some of the only videos that don't rehash the same info over and over

Awesome info.

Must say. You have found unique way to do aquatic YT. Like it.

I used to have a delhezi, but it passed away. I never knew this much about it. You have earned a sub

Great video, great narration, interesting information. Keep up the good work! I am watching the video for the second time today.

Best actual active polypterus video with commentation yet!

NIce looking Anubias too

This is really cool

Great Documentary! Lovely creature , thanks for spotlighting it !

This was extremely pleasant to watch. Thank you. Subscribed.

Amazingly explained and presented sir.

Stunning video .. and awesome fish.

Just like the way he makes video: Information focus only. Great work! Thank you and have a nice day !!!

Fascinating...

Great tank looks really happy u got a new subscriber

That fish does look strikingly similar to a snakehead.

I truly enjoyed this video! Would’ve really liked to see a full shot of this tank as well. Very informative and worth another watch if I plan on obtaining this species.

Tysm for sharing this wonderful video truly appreciate your time and efforts, your indeed the best 👌

criminally underrated gem

Wow this is documentary worthy and felt like i was watching NatGeo wild, no lie👍 Very much enjoyed this and will be checking out more of your content. Its sad that stupid dog or cat videos get millions of views but channels like this with quality content and production with loads of knowledge arent utilized. That should give everyone a clue to what type of mindset the general population have. I fear for future generations but hope to teach my children differently by exposing them to old school quality documentaries (like this one;)etc. Thank you for a great presentation on this specie

Very beautiful Delhezi you got.

your quality of work is awesome! i have subscribed

Great video

Beautiful Work! Have been keeping from years & I totally enjoye it thoroughly! It's surprising they share some personality traits with Snakeheads (CHANNA species).

Awesome presentation. Bichirs are wonderful fish, and under the right care it's amazing how attentive and lively they can be.

Awesome show, thank you.

Bichirs are so cool! They are the epitome of the evolutionary gap between fish and amphibians. So cool, and so prehistoric. It’s like the species just got frozen in time.

Your voice sounds like you’re about to ask me a riddle to enter the boss room

Awesome and interesting! Wow

Fascinating. Great great video
