PRIMITIVE FISHES

 

Welcome to Primitive Fishes!

This site is dedicated to the natural history, ecology,  identification, and captive care of some of the most primitive fishes: the lungfishes, gars, bichirs, and bowfin.

The site is continuously being updated and currently being transitioned from the older site version.  Profiles on each species, more photos, and additional information will be added soon. 

Thanks for visiting the site!
