Platinum Senegal Bichir Polypterus Senegalus 10cm

Overview: The Platinum Senegal Bichir is a captivating and unique freshwater fish, known for its prehistoric appearance and shimmering platinum coloration. These nocturnal predators are characterized by their elongated bodies, dorsal finlets, and the ability to breathe atmospheric air due to a specialized swim bladder. They make a striking addition to any large aquarium setup.

Origin: Native to the rivers and freshwater bodies across Africa, the Platinum variant is selectively bred for its stunning color. Wild ancestors of this variety are adept at navigating both water and marginal land areas in search of food.

Feeding: Carnivorous by nature, Platinum Senegal Bichirs thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer a variety of foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, small fish, and quality pellet foods designed for carnivorous species. Frequent feedings in smaller amounts are recommended to mimic natural feeding habits.

Tank Mates: Due to their predatory nature, choose tank mates carefully. Ideal companions include larger fish species that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid housing with very small or docile fish. Compatible tank mates can include certain cichlids, larger tetras, and catfish that share similar water parameter requirements.

Aggression: Generally peaceful towards fish of a similar size but can exhibit predatory behavior towards smaller tank mates. It's crucial to monitor interactions in a community tank to ensure the safety and well-being of all inhabitants.

Experience Level: Intermediate to Advanced. While not overly demanding, their care requires an understanding of their specific needs, including tank size, diet, and water quality management.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-20 dGH
A minimum tank size of 75 gallons is recommended, as these fish can reach up to 14 inches in length. Provide plenty of hiding spots with driftwood, rocks, and plants to mimic their natural environment and enable comfortable rest during the day. Regular water changes and a well-maintained filtration system are essential to keep these magnificent fish healthy and vibrant.

Add a touch of prehistoric elegance to your aquarium with the Platinum Senegal Bichir – a true living fossil that will captivate and intrigue with its ancient lineage and striking appearance.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come. It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Great product
I really like this sunscreen! It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. The SPF 55 gives great protection, and it works well for everyday use. Great value for the price!

Delivers what it promises
I’m a fair skinned person who burns and freckles easily and in my 40’s. I also love being outside. I have worn spf on my face (and usually my hands) basically every day since I was 13 and because of that people always say I don’t look my age. Back then, only a 4 or 8 was available in face moisturizers, but I have always worn the highest that is recommended and usually face moisturizers are behind in meeting the recommendations so I have usually worn a full on sunscreen under my makeup. As the recommendations get higher it has been harder to find something that doesn’t look pasty, smell bad or interfere with makeup. I was using Eucerin spf 30 and Cera Ve spf 30 but I have wanted to increase spf to 50 because that is what is recommended now. I tried the Cera Ve spf 50 and was disappointed by how tacky it is and pasty it looks. I don’t even like wearing it alone to the beach because it’s so chalky white and sticky. Neutrogena healthy defense is alright but it has a scent and some chemicals that are not so good. It also is a pretty small bottle (1.7 oz) when you use it everyday on face and hands. But THIS product has blown me away with its affordability and quality. It IS sheer. Easily blends in and disappears quickly into skin. It’s completely odorless. It’s not tacky or greasy—you feel moisturized but not sticky. It performs under foundation even better than the Cera Ve 30. Now, this doesn’t have the extra ceramides and vitamins that does so I’ll still be using that when I feel extra dry like in winter, or I might mix the two moisturizers, but this Solimo reef safe sunscreen will definitely be my daily face and hand sunscreen in the spring, summer and early fall. These are the days I go straight from work to the garden or the beach. I can quickly reapply over my makeup before I leave the house again feel fully protected while I’m out.

I believe equal to name brand rhyming with NitroGina
I believe it is equal to the name brand mentioned on the front side of the tube. It is 55 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. If you put on a shirt over your skin with lotion it will appear on the inside of a dark shirt but it will wash out right away when that shirt is washed. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool or after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Super impressed by this!
Love this sunscreen and will be reordering it. It’s sheer, light, invisible, gives me the protection I need for my middle aged skin and I can swear my complexion has gotten better since I started using it. I’m super impressed how it’s comparable to more expensive brands in quality without the high price tag. It’s made me start looking into other skin products I can purchase from the Amazon brand.
