Ok, i've kept bichirs for about 2 years now so i'm no poly noob (I think). It just seems that I just don't know the way to care for them! As all of you bichir keepers say, "bichirs grow an inch a month," I can't believe how you guys are says are saying! I have a 5 inch delhezi, a 5 inch retropinnis and a 5 inch weeksi and NON OF THEM GREW AN INCH FOR HALF A DANG YEAR!! this is how I keep them:
. I keep them in a 75 gallon tank with an ehiem canister filter
. I feed them either sinking pellets or cut market shrimp once a day.
. I change the water around once a week 30%
.i'm pretty sure the del is a CB and the weeksi and retro are WC.
What am i missing?? What do you guys feed your bichir??? i noticed that for the last month, the bichirs aren't really eating most of the food and most of it is littered at the bottom of the tank.
ANY TIPS?? To be honest, i've kept the del for 1.5 years now it it only grew an inch. i've kept the weeksi and retro for just less than a year and they didn't even grow an inch!!!
what is wrong with my MFKing skills!
