I plan on having a 75 gallon aquarium and I am choosing between a single cichlid or having a smaller Bichir and some sort of tankmates or a tankmate with it. Any advice
If you went with upper jaw bichirs (the smaller ones) you could have a few along with tankmates.
What kind of tankmates were you thinking/wanting?
I know you've been looking into pretty aggressive, larger cichlids... has that plan changed? You can still do cichlids with bichirs, but you'd have to totally change your plans in that case to something smaller and less aggressive.
What are the Cichlids you have in mind.I was hoping to keep 1 or 2 medium cichlids with the Bichir or one medium that was aggressive with him, but definitely not with a devil or oscar
Imo bioload not that bad but depends on how large and how many you have also depend on the filtration and aquarium size.How big is their bioload?
