The eggs are deposited in weeds, where the adult fish guards the eggs and young (Ref. 36900). It feeds on bottom-feeding fish (Ref. 36900) and is essentially piscivorous (Ref. 367).

Polypterus bichir lapradei has a subcylindrical body, the height of which is comprised from 6,6 to 11,2 times in its length, head length comprised 4,3 to 5,6 times in total length (Ref. 2835, 81263). Head slightly flattened, 1,5 to 2,2 times longer than broad; interorbital space plane or slightly convex; lower jaw longer than upper jaw; eye-diameter from 8 to 12 times in head length (Ref. 2835, 81263). Dorsal fin with 13-15 rays, followed by 20-21 dorsal and caudal articulated rays; anal fin with 14-15 rays; pectoral fin with 41-43 rays and rounded, getting beyond the level of the first dorsal ray; 13-16 pelvic fin rays (Ref. 367, 2835, 42908, 81263). Ganoid scales (Ref. 41904): 58-68 in lateral line, 46-52 around body and 11-14 predorsal scales; lateral line scales grooved with notched posterior border (Ref. 2835, 42908, 81263). Number of vertebrae 61 (Ref. 367).Colouration: In alcohol, Polypterus bichir bichir with upper part of body olive-coloured, belly whitish; juvenile specimens with three horizontal dark stripes on the sides, remains of these three stripes may be perceptible in adults; pectoral and ventral fins with transversal bands greenish and yellowish, dorsal and anal fins often spotted with black (Ref. 367, 2835, 81263). In alcohol, Polypterus bichir lapradei with body yellowish or greenish on the upper part, belly clearer, sides often with dark longitudinal stripes; fins spotted with black, scattered dark spots and blotches are sometimes present on the caudal, ventral and pelvic fins and undersides of the belly (Ref. 367, 2835, 13851, 81263).
