Baby Dolphin

(Mormyrus longirostris) 

Freshwater Dolphin Fish are a species of fish that use small electrical pulsations to find food and defend themselves. It is found throughout West African countries’ streams, rivers, and lakes, such as The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It is also referred to as the Eastern Bottlenose Mormyrid, Eastern Bottlenose, Elephant-snout, and “Baby Dolphin” by hobbyists. It gets its name from its similar appearance to a bottle-nosed dolphin, with its gray, smooth body and elongated snout.

The Freshwater Dolphin Fish is frequently confused with other species and subspecies, such as the Mormyrus Rume, Mormyrus Kannume, and Mormyrus Caschive, as they are almost indistinguishable when young, which makes purchasing difficult. The Freshwater Dolphin Fish is known for being intelligent, inquisitive, and outgoing, and keepers report the fish will play with toys and learn tricks. Due to its electrical pulsations, it can give a mild shock when caught.
